Cleopatra of Egypt: From History to Myth

Author: Susan Higgs & Peter Walker
Stars: 3
Review by: MandyApgar

A very large catalog of pieces attributed to, or related to, the reign of Cleopatra. It was published in celebration of a museum project and does have that hint of dry academia, and frankly would be exceedingly dull for someone unfamiliar with her to read due to the size, but is well done. Some of the works included are a bit odd, as it seemed for a brief moment that the editors were including almost any piece of a bald Roman man simply because so, but for the most part they are relevant.
