I have just submitted Throne of Isis by Judith Tarr. Enjoy. See the comments
for more details.
Their passion set fire to the known world- and lives on as the greatest love
story in history.
Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, heir to the throne won by Alexander the Great: she
was the most powerful woman of the ancient Mediterranean, and the only person
standing between Rome and its dominion over the world. She was wife to Julius
Caesar, and bore his only son. After his death she took Mark Antony, Caesar's
greatest general, as lover and consort- and as her partner in a vast political
enterprise. Together they strove to unite Egypt and Rome under one throne.
Throne of Isis
History tells of Cleopatra's war with Rome, her political skills and her
devotion to Egypt. Shakespeare tells of the tragic love affair. But in Throne
of Isis , Judith Tarr shows us an extraordinary woman wielding the power to
which she was born. Here is the Cleopatra who took the throne of Egypt and held
it despite Rome for nearly thirty years. This is the woman who spoke twelve
languages, studied philosophy and arts, and could debate with the greatest
scholars and orators of the age.

I have accepted a seat in the House of Representatives, and thereby have
consented to my own ruin, to your ruin, and to the ruin of our children. I give
you this warning that you may prepare your mind for your fate.
