About this listen

In this episode, we explore Cleopatra VII's exceptional diplomatic skills, focusing on her strategic alliances with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. Delving into the political landscape of the late Ptolemaic kingdom, we examine how Cleopatra used personal relationships and political acumen to secure Egypt's autonomy against the backdrop of Roman civil wars. Key moments include her meeting with Caesar in 48 BCE, the birth of Caesarion, the Donations of Alexandria in 34 BCE, and the eventual fallout with Octavian. We also discuss the role of Egyptian propaganda, the use of the pharaonic title, and the influence of the Isis cult in legitimizing her rule. This episode sheds light on Cleopatra's intelligence, multilingualism, and cultural diplomacy, challenging the myth of her as merely a seductress.
