Few Personalities From Classical Antiquity Are More Famousyet More Poorly Understoodthan Cleopatra Vii, Queen Of Egypt. In This Major Biography, Duane Roller Reveals That Cleopatra Was In Fact A Learned And Visionary Leader Whose Overarching Goal Was Always The Preservation Of Her Dynasty And Kingdom.Rollers Authoritative Account Is The First To Be Based Solely On Primary Materials From The Grecoroman Period: Literary Sources, Egyptian Documents (Cleopatras Own Writings), And Representations In Art And Coinage Produced While She Was Alive. His Compelling Portrait Of The Queen Illuminates Her Prowess As A Royal Administrator Who Managed A Large And Diverse Kingdom Extending From Asia Minor To The Interior Of Egypt, As A Naval Commander Who Led Her Own Fleet In Battle, And As A Scholar And Supporter Of The Arts.
