Amarna - City of Akhenaten and Nefertiti
‘ … and Cleopatra. Well, Rome couldn’t be responsible for her!’ (©Lindsey Davis. 2002.2013. The Jupiter Myth. Arrow Books) Marcus Didius Falco, special informer to the Emperor, sums up completely the fascination and the frustration caused by this last queen of Egypt, the last of the Ptolemaic dynasty. Nor does archaeology fare better than fiction. Coins minted in her time only add to the frustration. Battered and bruised by use, no coin gives a definitive image of the queen who courted and won both Julius Caesar and Mark Anthony. What became of the queen after her death? But of the city which still bears the name of Alexander the Great and which was a silent witness to the court of Cleopatra VII much more is now known. Exciting new underwater archaeology has brought the royal quarter back to life.
