Ernle Bradford portrays Cleopatra as an intelligent woman skilled in politics who ascended to the throne of Egypt at just seventeen, in 51 BC. The book questions the image of a seductress spread by Rome and presents her as dedicated to saving her kingdom from Roman domination, amid the confrontation between Caesar and Pompey.
Third volume of Salvat's Grandes Biografías collection. Translated from the English by V. Villacampa.
A work for those interested in the history of ancient Egypt, the end of the Roman Republic, and biographies of great figures.
