The first modern biography of one of the most influential yet long-neglected rulers of the ancient world: Cleopatra Selene, daughter of Antony and Cleopatra. "A vibrant, fascinating portrait of a great woman who deserves her place in the pantheon of Roman queens." --Emma Southon

This was an interesting look into the life of a person who could be the daughter of Cleopatra. It was possible that she survived into adulthood and became a powerful woman. There is enough evidence to support it, but without a body, and more written surviving documents, it is hard to say for certain. Between Egypt and Rome, there is a lot if interesting history brought in, and some discussion on living arrangements, marriages, who's who in the world, and dynastic struggles.
Interesting viewpoints, and some great history inside as well. There were a few snips from the author that could turn a few people off to the book, but overall it was a decent read.
