Ive been fascinated by ancient civilizations since I 2nd grade. Id go to the library and read every book I could find about Egypt, and Rome, The Aztecs and all of Mesoamerica. This is my tribute to one of the most interesting alliances I read about later in my life. Which was the alliance between Cleopatra and Julius Caesar. Cleopatra required the might of Caesar's armies to install her as ruler of Egypt, while Caesar was in need of Cleopatra's vast wealth. She is believed to have been the world's richest woman at the time and able to finance Caesar's return to power in Rome. Two worlds colliding. Cleopatra was a very highly educated woman and her mental prowess and aptitude was far superior to her beauty.. Cheers to one of my favorite stories in history.
