Más información sobre el libro

The book delves into the historical significance of ancient coinage to argue Cleopatra's Greek identity, challenging the notion of her being black African due to Egypt's location in North Africa. It explores her strategic motives, particularly her manipulation of Mark Antony, aiming to incite a civil war that would enable her to reclaim power and seek vengeance against Rome for its conquest of Greece. This analysis offers a fresh perspective on Cleopatra's political ambitions and the complexities of her alliances.
