ACOUP - On the Reign of Cleopatra

In this post, Bret examines Cleopatra. Both who she was and what sort of ruler she was. He starts by discussing how pop culture (and historical sources) often treat Cleopatra and what they tend to view as important about her. Then he turns to what we can see from our sources of Cleopatra’s life and legacy.
