She reigned over Egypt for nearly 21 years, and she first stepped onto the throne when she was just 18 years old.

In the second part of this book, you'll learn: Were Caesar and Cleopatra married? Did Caesar ever have children? How big was the Roman Republic? Was politics always so confusing? Why do we care about Julius Caesar? Wasn't he just one of many? Was Caesar really kidnapped by pirates? What was life like at home and at war in ancient Rome? And much more!
