Cleopatra was a cultured and intelligent ruler, endowed with extraordinary skill both at the negotiating table and on the battlefield. A woman of power who was remarkably modern for her time, yet also capable of deep and passionate love.
But who was the last queen of Egypt, truly? Alberto Angela — scholar, science communicator, and a close friend of the Foundation — reconstructs her life in his book published by HarperCollins. He retraces her strategic moves on the international stage, as well as her loves and passions, drawing on historical sources and modern studies, guiding readers through the bustling streets of the capital of the ancient world.
