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.'

This is the fifth episode in a series of six which covers the life of the Egyptian Queen Cleopatra.  Today's understanding of Cleopatra is that of a femme fatale, a woman who used her looks to seduce and dominate the globes' two most powerful men of their time.  Such a viewpoint tends to get Cleopatra excluded from the pantheon of history's great leaders.  This episode seeks to turn that understanding upside down by detailing exactly what it was like to be a powerful woman in the male dominate world.  After examining the main charges leveled against her, we'll conclude that the Egyptian Queen is only guilty of being one of the world's greatest rulers.
