Cleopatra, Pharaoh of Egypt (ep 2.2)
from Her Half of History · host Evergreen Podcasts
Cleopatra inherited a joint throne, but pushed first one and then a second brother out of it to rule alone. In a world where rising Roman dominance was a fact of life, she managed to maintain control of her country by negotiating (in every possible way) with both Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. Though she lost in the end, she still managed to close out 3000 years of Egyptian history on her own terms. Visit the website (herhalfofhistory.com) for sources, transcripts, and pictures.
