While Octavian and Marc Antony fought on the seas, a deadlier battle was waged in the shadows between two women: Cleopatra VII, the last Pharaoh of Egypt, and Livia Drusilla, the first Empress of Rome. One chose a legendary death to remain free; the other chose a quiet power to rule for generations. This is the story of the two most powerful women of the ancient world.Characters:
