Cleopatra and Julius Caesar: Political Power Couple (part one)

File N°21

Hey Team,

LaToya here! I want to send a quick thank to to Loren, the founder of https://lutely.shop/ - the shopping platform that allows you to share wishlists with people you love, for today’s suggestion.

I asked Loren who I should cover in the newsletter, and she recommended the biography of Cleopatra - a book I’d accidentally donated weeks before.

Luckily, I owned two books that covered overlap with today’s characters: The Fortunes of Africa and The History of the Ancient World. And I was able to stop by McNally Jackson in Midtown East on my lunch break last week, where I got a second copy of Cleopatra’s biography.

So here we are! Let’s get into it.
