Cleopatra: Shadows and Splendor

5 Hours of Immersive, High-Stakes Historical Drama

The sea arrives before everything else. Step into the marble corridors of Alexandria, the beating heart of the ancient world, and experience the monumental rise and fall of its final pharaoh. This sweeping, 5-hour cinematic audiobook brings to life the definitive history of Cleopatra VII—not as the myth history later manufactured, but as the brilliant strategist, master linguist, and fierce ruler who shook the foundations of the Roman Empire.

From her early days navigating the lethal court of the Ptolemies to her legendary, audacious encounters with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, Shadows and Splendor uncovers the cold calculations, breathtaking political theater, and profound human tragedy that reshaped the map of the Mediterranean world.

Discover an Epic Divided into 10 Gripping Chapters:

Chapter 1: The Child of Alexandria (69 BC – 51 BC) – The birth of a princess in a restless cosmopolitan empire, her mastery of nine languages, and her education at the Great Library.

Chapter 2: Exile and the Roman Arrival (51 BC – 48 BC) – Driven into the desert margins by a scheming sibling court, a young queen builds an army while Rome descends into open civil war.

Chapter 3: The Carpet and the Conqueror (48 BC – 47 BC) – The legendary, high-stakes gamble inside a besieged palace quarter that forged an unbreakable alliance with Gaius Julius Caesar.

Chapter 4: Queen Regnant of Egypt (47 BC – 44 BC) – A golden era of restored sovereignty, the birth of Caesarion, and a magnificent progress up the ancient waters of the Nile.

Chapter 5: The Ides of March and Escape (44 BC – 41 BC) – Blood on the Senate floor. Trapped in Rome without a protector, the queen executes a brilliant tactical escape back to Africa.

Chapter 6: Meeting at Tarsus (41 BC – 40 BC) – Aphrodite meets Dionysus. The breathtaking spectacle of the golden barge on the river Cydnus that captured the mind of Mark Antony.

Chapter 7: The Eastern Empire Expands (40 BC – 34 BC) – The heights of Ptolemaic rebirth, culminating in the provocative, world-altering Donations of Alexandria.

Chapter 8: The Drums of War (34 BC – 31 BC) – Octavian’s cold, precision-engineered propaganda machine matches weaponized narratives against Egypt’s immense gold and fleet.

Chapter 9: The Clash at Actium (31 BC – 30 BC) – Three hundred warships collide off the Greek coast in a slow theater of catastrophe that forever seals the fate of the Republic.

Chapter 10: The Fall of the Nile (30 BC) – The definitive, moving final hours inside a stone mausoleum where the last pharaoh chooses her own ending—unconquered and unparaded.
