Cleopatra's Story
The name Cleopatra might bring to mind someone with a racy reputation, a seductress with immense beauty, or Elizabeth Taylor in that headdress. But here was a capable leader, highly intelligent, organised and who spoke 9 languages. Ascending the throne at the age of 18, Cleopatra was the last active Pharaoh of Egypt. Why is she remembered for her looks and sex life? The Emperor Augustus, Mark Anthony’s enemy, made sure to destroy not only the monuments to her greatness, but her reputation too.
“Be it known that we, the greatest, are misthought.” - Cleopatra
Made with 925 sterling silver and lab-grown opal.
