After Julius Caesar's murder, his mistress Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, fled to Alexandria where she gave birth to their son. Civil war broke out in Rome, and Mark Antony, Caesar's friend, was given control over the East. Summoned to his headquarters, Cleopatra made her entry at dusk on a scented, candle-lit barge: and so began one of the greatest love stories of all time.

The affair between the ancient world's most famous celebrity couple became all-consuming, leaving them oblivious to the threat of doom building up against them. Now Diana Preston has delved into the real history behind the propaganda and myth surrounding this famous couple, breathing new life into this epic love story.

Critic reviews

"A hugely entertaining book packed with information." (Sue Arnold, Guardian)
All stars
Most relevant
There is clearly a lot of research that has gone into this text. A great voice, with emphasis and emotion which worked well. My only quibbles are the chapters of the audio book weren't synced with the chapters of the book. It also includes a lot of info not related to Antony or Cleopatra, but it was still really interesting.

A detailed and interesting book
