Ptolemaic Empire

Two Worlds Collided. One Queen Would Never Be Forgotten.

What really happened when ancient Egypt met the rising power of Greece? And who was the woman who stood between Egypt and Rome?

This volume brings together two fascinating stories in one: the rise of the Ptolemaic Kingdom after Alexander the Great, and the life of Cleopatra, the last pharaoh of Egypt. Clear, fast-paced, and packed with insight, it cuts through the myths to show what really shaped this powerful dynasty and the woman who tried to save it.
