Aprašymas

The shadow of the mighty Roman Empire loomed over Egypt in 69 BC, the year Cleopatra was born. When she grew into a young woman and inherited the throne at the age of eighteen, the fear of Rome's military aggression worsened. Cleopatra was determined to stop them. The young queen's family had ruled over Egypt for three hundred years. Cleopatra was not willing to surrender her country. When she came into power her Egyptian subjects worshipped her as the divine goddess Isis. Cleopatra's story is one of ambition, courage, charm, intelligence, and tragedy. Recorded in history are accounts of many queens but none can compare to Queen Cleopatra. Although her reign was short and perilous, her life intrigues and fascinates us over 2000 years later. Her story is told by Vargie Johnson in this seventh biographical novel of the "What Made Them Famous?" series.
