She used her beauty and cunning to rule a mighty civilization and to subdue the world’s most powerful men. She was the woman no man could resist, but what drove her to commit suicide at such a young age? Cleopatra was the most powerful woman of the ancient world. Already a temptress at age twelve, she offered herself as a gift to Julius Caesar, then used his influence to capture the Egyptian throne from her brother. Later, when the powerful Marc Antony summoned her to Tarsus, she arrived on a river barge dressed up as the goddess Venus. This fascinating portrait of the Queen of the Nile traces her short life, from her noble birth to her legendary suicide. Ancient records combined with modern re-enactments and computer-generated graphics bring her remarkable story to life. This is the definitive look at the glamorous, passionate and manipulative queen who has beguiled us for 2,000 years.
