Guides to the Reading of memoirs of Cleopatra


Memoirs of Cleopatra is one of the best novels that I have read so far.Margaret George has made a magnificent epic. It dealt about how the great Queen Cleopatra, Thea Philopator has struggled to maintain the freedom of Egypt and to fight for what was due to her son by Julius Caesar.

The novel has described many ancient Places, and indeed, it was hard to just imagine them all as I read. Thus, I took pains in researching how these places and people look liked.

This is the statue that most likely resembled Julius Ceasar according to Adrian Goldwotrhy's book Ceasar. 
Julius Ceasar

A golden statue was commissioned by Julius Caesar and it was brought to the Temple of Venus in Rome.It was standing beside the statue of Julius according to the story. This picture was taken from David Claer's picture in his article in associate content.
