Look insideCleopatra: One Cool Queen
Everyone’s heard of Cleopatra. She’s was famous for: having a fling with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, getting rather carried away with her eyeliner, and finally having a nasty accident with an asp. But did you know that Cleo married both her brothers, was a superb scholar who spoke nine languages, and had her little sister killed? Cleopatra might be dead, but her legacy is still alive and kicking!
