She used her beauty and cunning to rule a mighty civilization and to subdue the world's most powerful men. She was the woman no man could resist, but what drove her to commit suicide at such a young age?
Cleopatra was the most powerful woman of the ancient world. Already a temptress at age twelve, she offered herself as a gift to Julius Caesar, then used his influence to capture the Egyptian throne from her brother. Later, when the powerful Marc Anthony summoned her to Tarsus, she arrived on a river barge dressed as the goddess Venus. In this in-depth program, BIOGRAPHY® offers a fascinating portrait of the alluring Queen of the Nile, from her noble birth to her legendary suicide. Ancient records combined with modern reenactments and computer-generated graphics bring her remarkable story to life.
