Greg Jenner is joined by Dr Shushma Malik and comedian Thanyia Moore to learn about Cleopatra.
Cleopatra, the seventh Ancient Egyptian Queen to bear that name, was born around 69 BCE and she’s seen by many historians as the final ruler of dynastic Egypt; a lineage that stretched back 3,000 years.
From marrying and murdering her siblings to liaisons of love and political pragmatism with top Romans Julius Caesar and Mark Antony; Cleopatra led a very turbulent life.
But when we strip back the modern myths and ancient interpretations, who was the real Cleopatra?
