Cleopatra: The Queen Who Challenged Rome and Conquered Eternity by Alberto Angela
DID NOT FINISH: 21%
I got this book to learn about Cleopatra but most of this book it just about the men in her life. I wanted to learn about her early life, but nothing! It only starts when Caesar is about to die.  I was so disappointed with the sexist language about her looks which is actually historical thought to have been a myth to make the Romans understand why powerful men fell for her (more likely it was her intelligence, power and theatrics)
