Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Cleopatra VII is one of the most famous figures in history, and one of the least understood.Roman writers cast her as a temptress who ruled through seduction. Later retellings repeated the story until it hardened into fact. This guide goes back to the evidence and finds someone far more formidable: a working monarch who governed a multiethnic kingdom, commanded fleets and treasuries, and faced down the most aggressive empire of her age.The real Cleopatra spoke as many as nine languages, including Egyptian, Greek, Aramaic, Hebrew, Arabic, Parthian, and Median. While her Ptolemaic predecessors relied on interpreters, she negotiated directly with foreign rulers and addressed her subjects in their own tongues. That skill was not a party trick. It was an instrument of power, and she used it to hold Egypt together while Rome swallowed every neighboring kingdom.This guide follows her story from her birth in Alexandria through her contested rise to the throne, her partnerships with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, the defense of Egypt against Octavian, and her death. It then traces how Roman propaganda rewrote her into a cautionary tale, and how modern scholarship has begun to recover the ruler behind the myth.Inside, readers will find a clear account of her diplomatic playbook against Rome, her use of ritual and public image to secure legitimacy, the truth behind her legendary alliances, and the reasons her reputation was distorted for two thousand years.It is written for readers of ancient history and biography, students, and anyone curious about how power actually worked in the ancient Mediterranean. No prior knowledge of classical history is needed. Each chapter builds from well-documented sources and distinguishes clearly between legend and evidence.Cleopatra did not survive twenty years on a contested throne by accident. Open this guide and meet the strategist Rome feared. Strip away the ancient propaganda to reveal a brilliant strategist who wielded intellect and diplomacy as weapons to defend her realm against an unstoppable empire. This item is printed on demand.
