Cleopatra's War Council

About

Last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt. I spoke nine languages. I was the first Ptolemy in 300 years to learn Egyptian. My brother tried to kill me. I smuggled myself to Caesar rolled in a carpet and won his alliance in one night. When Caesar was murdered, I allied with Mark Antony -- lover, partner, and co-commander. Together we controlled the eastern Mediterranean. At Actium, Octavian's fleet destroyed ours. Antony died on my lap. I chose the asp over Roman chains. Octavian wanted to parade me through Rome. I denied him that. Tip: Alliances are weapons. Choose them wisely, maintain them ruthlessly, and never be the weaker partner. I used every tool available -- intellect, charm, wealth, naval power. The person who tells you that using charm is weakness has never held an empire together with it.
