These wide-ranging essays explore such topics as Cleopatra's controversial trip to Rome, her suicide by snake bite, and the afterlife of her love potions. They view Cleopatra from the Egyptian perspective, and examine the reception in Rome of Egyptian culture, especially of its religion and architecture. They discuss films about her, and consider what inspired Egyptomania in early modern art. Together, these essays illuminate Cleopatra's legacy and illustrate how it has been used and reused through the centuries. 410 0$aJoan Palevsky imprint in classical literature. 606 $aQueens$zEgypt$vBiography 606 $aEgypt, Ancient 606 $aArt, Ancient$xEgypt 606 $aEgypt$xReligion 606 $aArchitecture, Ancient$xEgypt 607 $aEgypt$xHistory$y332-30 B.C 607 $aRome$xHistory$yRepublic, 265-30 B.C 607 $aEgypt$xKings and rulers$vBiography 610 $aancient egypt religion. 610 $aancient egypt. 610 $aancient egyptian architecture. 610 $aancient egyptian rulers. 610 $aancient egyptian women. 610 $aancient history. 610 $aancient pharaoh. 610 $aancient roman politics. 610 $aancient rome. 610 $aclassical studies. 610 $acleopatra afterlife. 610 $acleopatra and egypt. 610 $acleopatra and rome. 610 $acleopatra love potions. 610 $acleopatra vii. 610 $aearly modern art. 610 $aegyptian culture. 610 $aegyptian religion. 610 $aegyptomania. 610 $ahistoric women figures. 610 $aimperial rome. 610 $alife of cleopatra. 610 $apolitical history. 610 $aroman history. 610 $arome and egypt. 610 $awomen in history. 615 0$aQueens 615 0$aEgypt, Ancient. 615 0$aArt, Ancient$xEgypt. 615 0$aEgypt$xReligion. 615 0$aArchitecture, Ancient$xEgypt. 676 $a932/.021092 676 $aB 701 $aMiles$b Margaret Melanie$0488098 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821505103321 996 $aCleopatra$94024342 997 $aUNINA
