She has remained the standard for beauty for more than 2,0000 years, but history's original bombshell was a lot more than a pretty face. In fact, she may have been history's most intelligent leader who outsmarted the Roman empire, twice.
In this episode, we discuss the life and death of Cleopatra. In our first interlude, we witness the boat ride where Cleopatra and Ceaser join forces and join lips...
Next, Mark walks us through the rise and fall of Egypt's last dynasty as we witness Cleopatra's turbulent, vibrant life and tragic end.
In our What If? scenario, Cleopareta uses her political gifts to make deals, and expand Egypt's wealth and power. In our final interlude, we take a boat ride with the son of Julius Caesar and Cleopatra, Caesarion, as he springs a fiery trap on the Roman fleet.
Put down your eyeliner and press play.
