Showing results for "Cleopatra" in Rome

Il mondo di oggi non sarebbe lo stesso senza Cleopatra, una sovrana colta, intelligente e dotata di una straordinaria abilità sia sul tavolo delle trattative che nelle guerre. Una donna di potere incredibilmente moderna per il passato e allo stesso tempo capace di provare grandi passioni amorose. Ma chi era veramente l'ultima regina d'Egitto?

Julius Caesar was nothing if not bold. When, in the wake of his defeat of Pompey at Pharsalus his victorious legions refused to march another step under his command, he pursued his fleeing rival into Egypt with an impossibly small force of Gallic and German cavalry, raw Italian recruits, and nine hundred Spanish prisoners of war - tough veterans of Pompey's Sixth Legion. Cleopatra's Kidnappers tells the epic saga of Caesar's adventures in Egypt through the eyes of these captured, but never defeated, legionaries.
