Summary: Cleopatra Selene, often referred to as Cleopatra VIII or simply Selene, was the only daughter of Cleopatra and Marc Antony. Her life is often overshadowed by her mother’s celebrity. However, after the famous deaths of her parents and the annexation of Egypt into Rome, Selene would go on to be the only surviving child of Cleopatra to live well into adulthood and fashion a successful political career in the new Roman Empire with Augustus Caesar at it’s helm. Historical fiction author Stephanie Dray joins the panel in this companion piece to the Cleopatra Series, which offers a fascinating comparison between mother and daughter.
