About This Item
The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2005 12mo (19 cm), VI, 340 pp. Laminated wrappers. "With the full panorama of her life forever lost, Cleopatra touches us in a series of sensational images: floating through a perfumed mist down the Nile; dressed as Venus for a tryst at Tarsus; unfurled from a roll of linens before Caesar; couchant, the deadly asp clasped to her breast. Through such images, each immortalising the Egyptian queen's encounters with legendary Romans - Julius Caesar, Mark Antony, and Octavian Augustus - we might also chart her rendezvous with the destiny of Rome. So Diana Kleiner shows us in this provocative book, which opens an entirely new perspective on one of the most intriguing women who ever lived. Cleopatra and Rome reveals how these iconic episodes, absorbed into a larger historical and political narrative, document a momentous cultural shift from the Hellenistic world to the Roman Empire." (from the publisher's description)
