Growing Up, Cleopatra! (Epi 17, S3)

Ancient Rome Refocused

What's it like to be daughter of a Queen?

Rob Cain interviews author and educator Vicky Alvear Shecter. She wrote the book Cleopatra's Moon, a tale of Selene, daughter of Cleopatra and Marc Antony.

Dramatic narration from Ms. Shecter's book.

Nancy provides the voice of Selene who witnessed the Donations of Alexandria, where Antony distributed Roman lands to his children and Queen Cleopatra. As you can guess this did not go over well in Rome, and led to the battle of Actium.
