The richest, most powerful woman in the world, Cleopatra ruled the East
and tamed the West. With both cunning and charm, she beguiled two of the
most famous men in history, entwining Egypt's destiny with Rome's. Many
believed she was as sly as a serpent. Or was she just smart?
Gorgeous illustrations and an intelligent, evocative story bring to life
a real dastardly dame who, despite her schemes, lost
everything--including her beloved homeland.
