Antony and Cleopatra

Antony and Cleopatra

by PatriciaSouthern (Author)

Synopsis

The immortal lovers of novels, plays and films, Antony and Cleopatra were reviled by contemporary Romans, but history has transformed them into tragic heroes. Their blending of politics and sex led to the ruin of both, since their main rival Octavian-Augustus was able to portray Cleopatra as the arch enemy of Rome and Antony as her consort.

Media Reviews
In the absence of Cleopatra's memoirs, Southern's commendably balanced biography will do very well. --Sunday Telegraph on Cleopatra
Her style is delightfully approachable: lean and lucid, witty and pacy. --Antiquity on Casear
