In the middle of the 1st century BC, Cleopatra caught the attention of Rome by captivating the two most powerful Romans of the day, Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. She could not overcome Octavius Caesar however, and she chose suicide over capture or defeat.

Seeking the real historical figure, Barbara Watterson sifts through the myths and the half-truths.
