Empires, Anarchy & Other Notable Moments

Cleopatra Part VI: The Queen's Gambit


Listen Later

This is the sixth and final episode in a series covering the life of the Egyptian Queen Cleopatra.  Confident in her power, Cleopatra makes a play for the entire Roman Empire by announcing the Donations of Alexandria, a policy which would see her and Antony's children follow them in the east and displace Octavian in the west.  Everything about the plan seemed perfect, but as the Battle of Actium showed 'no battle plan survives contact with the enemy.'
