Years ago, archaeologists excavating near Pompeii unearthed a hoard of Roman treasures, among them a bowl depicting a woman with thick, curly hair and sporting an elephant-scalp headdress. For decades, theories circulated about her identity-until, at last, she was ascertained to be Cleopatra Selene, the only surviving daughter of Roman Triumvir Marc Antony and Egyptian Queen Cleopatra VII. Using this discovery as her starting point and creating a narrative from mere fragments in the archaeological record, historian Jane Draycott reconstructs the exceptional life of this woman who, although born into royalty and raised in her mother's court, was held captive by Augustus Caesar and his sister, Octavia, after her parents' demise. Yet as Draycott shows, Cleopatra Selene was destined to emerge as an influential ruler in her own right, as queen, alongside King Juba II, of Mauretania, an ancient African kingdom. A long-overdue historical corrective, Cleopatra's Daughter reclaims a mighty regent-and her infamous family-for posterity"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 00 $a Cleopatra, $c Queen, consort of Juba II, King of Mauretania, $d 40 B.C.- 651 0 $a Mauretania (Kingdom) $x Kings and rulers $v Biography. 651 0 $a Rome $x History $y Augustus, 30 B.C.-14 A.D. $v Biography. 600 00 $a Cleopatra, $c Queen of Egypt, $d -30 B.C. $x Family. 600 00 $a Juba $b II, $c King of Mauretania, $d approximately 50 B.C.-approximately 24 A.D. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft. 941 $a 12 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409044447.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20231228010201.0 952 $l HOPC845 $d 20231226011239.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20230913010355.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20230802011015.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230708011739.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20230706012810.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230706010432.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629015404.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20230607010137.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230603010610.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230603010111.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F2DA0E3C01D311EEACDD33752EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
