- Cleopatra: A Captivating Guide to the Last Queen of Ancient Egypt and Her Relationships with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony
- Julius Caesar: A Captivating Guide to One of the Greatest Generals in Ancient Rome and His Role in the Fall of the Roman Republic and Rise of the Roman Empire
Cleopatra was a descendant of Ptolemy I Soter, a general who served the legendary Macedonian king Alexander the Great. She reigned over Egypt for nearly 21 years, and she first stepped onto the throne when she was just 18 years old. Her life was full of challenges and treacherous events, but she proved to be one of the most important figures in ancient history.
In the first part of this book, you'll discover:
- The early life of Cleopatra
- Her exile and journey to reclaim her throne
- The Egyptian queen's wealth and the golden city of Alexandria
- Her legendary encounter with Julius Caesar and the beginning of their alliance
- How the Romans pictured the young queen
- Her challenges in governing the land of Egypt and how she overcame a drought
- Cleopatra's image as the goddess Isis
- The blossoming and playful relationship between the queen and Mark Antony
- Her downfall and the fate of her children
Julius Caesar volume is able to simultaneously give the reader a nice overview of the 1st century BCE while also honing in on the specifics of the famous leader as he makes his way up from the downtrodden neighborhood of his youth to eventually being named a god by the Roman people.
In the second part of this book, you'll learn:
- Were Caesar and Cleopatra married?
- Did Caesar ever have children?
- How big was the Roman Republic?
- Was politics always so confusing?
- Why do we care about Julius Caesar? Wasn't he just one of many?
- Was Caesar really kidnapped by pirates?
- What was life like at home and at war in ancient Rome?
- And much more!
