520 _a"The Life and Times of Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt" by Arthur E. P. Brome Weigall is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work explores the life and reign of Cleopatra, the last pharaoh of Ancient Egypt, delving into her character, relationships with key Roman figures like Julius Caesar and Marc Antony, and the political implications of her reign. Weigall aims to present a nuanced perspective on Cleopatra, challenging prevailing historical narratives that portray her in a negative light. The opening of the volume sets the stage for a detailed exploration of Cleopatra's life, character, and the societal context in which she lived. Weigall introduces the theme of historical bias against Cleopatra, arguing that much of what is known about her has been colored by the views of her enemies, particularly from Rome. He outlines the sources he will draw from, including classical authors, and expresses his intention to humanize Cleopatra by portraying her not merely as a seductress but as a woman navigating the complex political landscape of her time. The narrative begins by establishing the significance of Alexandria as both her capital and a cultural hub, highlighting its Greco-Roman influences while hinting at the tensions that lay beneath the surface of her reign.
