As with all the best stories, the truth is stranger than fiction, so come along and learn about the colourful, romantic and often violent life of the last of the pharaohs. Everyone has heard of Cleopatra, but how much of her extraordinary life do you know? This one-day course sets this famous queen firmly into her historical context as we look at her struggles, plots, love affairs and legacy. No previous knowledge of the ancient world is expected, merely a sense of curiosity for a deeply human story.
