Produktbeschreibung
Cleopatra Vol 6, the Egyptian queen is faced with a difficult choice. After her defeat at the Battle of Actium, she fled to Alexandria with her lover, Mark Antony. The city is under siege by Octavian's forces, and Cleopatra knows that she will soon be captured. She can either surrender to Octavian and face imprisonment or execution, or she can take her own life. In the end, Cleopatra chooses to take her own life. She does not want to be captured by Octavian and face the humiliation of imprisonment or execution. She would rather die on her own terms, as a queen. Cleopatra's death is a turning point in the novel. It marks the end of the Ptolemaic dynasty and the beginning of Roman rule in Egypt. It is also a personal tragedy for Cleopatra, who is forced to choose between her life and her freedom. The novel ends with a meditation on the nature of power and the meaning of life. The author suggests that power is a fleeting thing and that life is ultimately about making choices and living with the consequences.
