Reines, impératrices, régentes… Autant de termes plus ou moins anachroniques – et la liste n’est pas exhaustive – qui posent la question de la place des femmes influentes dans l’Antiquité. Et pourtant, les mondes antiques sont peuplés de femmes, que les sources, littéraires ou documentaires, présentent aux côtés des puissants ; elles sont tantôt en lien et tantôt en opposition avec eux, tantôt honorées, tantôt écartées. La forme même du pouvoir qu’elles exercent, directement ou indirectement, est une source d’interrogations, tout comme les variations de la place qu’elles occupent dans les institutions politiques ; l’expression officielle de ce pouvoir évolue, notamment dans les périodes de crise dynastique. Les questions sur les femmes influentes sont donc multiples et, de la confrontation entre les périodes hellénistique et romaine, est né un livre polyphonique, à la confluence de recherches menées ces dernières années en France, Suisse, Italie et Allemagne, par des spécialistes de l’histoire politique. Organisé en deux parties, respectivement sur les atouts des femmes et sur leurs modes d’exercice du pouvoir, le livre fait apparaître une vingtaine de thématiques sur lesquelles le dialogue entre les deux périodes antiques est particulièrement fécond et off re des réflexions novatrices. Queens, empresses, mothers or sisters of rulers: from the Egypt of Cleopatra to the Rome of Nero, they all played a part on the political stage. This book provides the key to understanding the role of powerful women and their relationship with power in the ancient world.

Few personalities from classical antiquity are more famous--yet more poorly understood--than Cleopatra VII, queen of Egypt. In the centuries since her death in 30 BC, she has been endlessly portrayed in the arts and popular culture, from Shakespearean tragedy to paintings, opera, and movies. Despite the queen's enduring celebrity, however, many have dismissed her as a mere seductress. In this major new biography, Duane Roller reveals that Cleopatra was in fact a learned and visionary leader whose overarching goal was always the preservation of her dynasty and kingdom.

Cleopatra-a brave, astute, and charming woman who spoke many languages, entertained lavishly, hunted, went into battle, eliminated siblings to consolidate her power, and held off the threat of Imperial Rome to protect her country as long as she could-continues to fascinate centuries after she ruled Egypt. These wide-ranging essays explore such topics as Cleopatra's controversial trip to Rome, her suicide by snake bite, and the afterlife of her love potions. They view Cleopatra from the Egyptian perspective, and examine the reception in Rome of Egyptian culture, especially of its religion and architecture. They discuss films about her, and consider what inspired Egyptomania in early modern art. Together, these essays illuminate Cleopatra's legacy and illustrate how it has been used and reused through the centuries.
