Review by Marcus_Flavius

Cleopatra was a direct descendant of one of Alexander the Greats generals, Ptolemy that acquired the region after his death. So she was Macedonian. They only married members of their own family so it's hard to believe that Cleopatra looked native to the region. The Romans were very accurate when minting their coins. Many were made with the Cleopatra head. She definitely wasn't as beautiful as Hollywood likes to portray either. But she must've been extremely keen to get both Julius Caesar and Marc Antony to fall in love and make babies with her.

This is the problem with the majority of the historical "documentaries" these days. How about trying to make them historically correct. If you want to watch some real history try the Great Courses with college professors. You can get as an add in on Amazon for pretty cheap. It's well worth it.
