Sample Book Insights:

#1 Cleopatra was born in 69 BCE in Egypt’s ancient capital, Alexandria. She was the daughter of Ptolemy XII Auletes, who had made the disastrous move of debasing the country’s coinage and then exacting a huge tax rise. His subjects again rebelled and forced him to flee to Rome.

#2 Cleopatra was not Egyptian, but she was born into a dynasty of Macedonian Greek heritage. When she inherited Egypt, it was a deeply divided country, segregated along the lines of class and race. Cleopatra’s mixed ancestry became important once she became queen.
