Later generations often attribute all of Cleopatra's success to her beauty, but they don't know that beauty is just a part of her political game, and men are just pawns for her to seize power:
She skillfully played with the power she held, and the image on the coin became her best medium to promote her legitimate power;
She provided financial support for Caesar's political ambitions in exchange for his backing him up in governing the country;
She provided Antony with a place to have fun at any cost in exchange for the expansion of ancient Egypt's territory;
She is proficient in multiple languages, proficient in speech and communication skills, and is always successful in diplomatic negotiations.
…
Rather than the title Cleopatra, Cleopatra should be remembered more as the king of ancient Egypt. With her superhuman political acumen, she led the ancient Egyptian kingdom to complete its unprecedented expansion, bringing unprecedented territory and wealth to this ancient country that was originally struggling to survive.

It turns out that she is not only a woman who wins by her beauty, but also a political genius with brains and means. The author's description is very vivid, it feels like watching a costume drama. But I kind of hate the men in it who use Queen Marie as a pawn. They are too selfish. The author is great and can write historical figures so vividly, which makes me want to understand that era even more. Recommended to friends who are interested in history!
