3.57 Cleopatra, Julius Caesar, and Roman Rule over Egypt

In this first part of three episodes, I cover the history of Cleopatra the 7th, certainly the most famous Cleopatra of them all. This history includes her exile with her father, Ptolemy the 12th when her older sister foricibly took the throne. Then she and her father returned, taking power back. She would co-rule with her brother and have a child with Julius Caesar. All of this in this episode, with enough left over for next week. After listening, let me know what you think.
