- Cleopatra VII, one of the last Egyptian queens of the line of Ptolemy, is one of history's most famous people, and yet her children by Julius Caesar and Marc Antony, and their fate, are nearly forgotten.

Some viewers have mentioned that Julius Caesar was not, as I said, an emperor. That is a fair criticism, as his nephew Augustus ushered in the imperial era. I am sorry for the error.
Maybe not in title, but in authority, he was.
@@kenthawley5990 Especially as "Caesar" is a title, not a name. Look up the First Triumvirate for how this came to be.
@@lancer525 So true. Caesar...the root of Kaiser.
@@kenthawley5990 russian Zar. chancillor.
hardly matters when you are remembered as Caesar.
Okay, I'll be honest. I would have never, ever thought to care about the history of the children of Cleopatra. But, here we are, and I'm (once again) fascinated by this topic and the history. You've done it again.

You always say "It's history that deserves to be remembered" and you are always right.
He also always says "I'm the History Guy", and he's always right!
Particularly in times like today when there are so many trying to rewrite it or erase it altogether.
He presents it in a way that makes you want to learn MORE! He’s awesome ✌️&❤️
I had looked up Cleopatra years ago. Only child mentioned was the one with Caesar and nothing about what happened to him. So having the rest of the story makes my day.
Barbara Houk
After The Battle of Actium , won by Octavian , known as later on , Cesar Augustus , to Secure his position and to be the only true air of Julius Caesar , he had the son Caesarion Murdered.
Exactly! Because so much was lost in the burning of the Library of Alexandria, we may never really discover the whole story.
While watching the flow of illustrations and photos while also listening to another of your memorable gems, it draws attention to the amount of work that proceeds the presentation here on RUclips. I wish to thank you and your dear wife, as well as any others that labor to make us more appreciative of the world’s history.
Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the work you do to make these little gems. Have a great day!
oh Yes, more like school for old Men : )

Very interesting.
If my high school teachers had been able to teach 1/3 of the information on this video or any of your uploads, History class would have been even more interesting.
Thank you.
Anyone who makes history boring ought to be horse whipped
I would surmise that the history teachers of the day were largely forced to refer to the dogma related by the textbooks of the time. Schools would have a curriculum they would have to follow that the teachers with their teaching degrees would have to follow. Finally and especially of late, budgeting for education was never a "sexy" subject for politicians. Teachers are starting to quit because of the class size, and the lack of funds for basic classroom necessities.
History is boring in school mostly because it is forced to be about useless regurgitation of dates and others opinions rather than anything useful or interesting. Sucks.
David Thompson History is only boring because the history teachers had no real grasp of the events that they taught about.
Dates are vital or you will not learn the pace of events.
The only thing I remember from high school history is the teacher got into lots of trouble for getting a cheerleader pregnant.
It is programs like this, and various others, where the quality exceeds that found on modern TV, with the result that I rarely (except for live sports) watch TV anymore.
I don't have a TV set. I hate TV
I had always assumed Cleopatra's other children had suffered the same fate as Caesarion and that their deaths just were not noteworthy enough to mention. You always manage to provide something I didn't know which is no small feat.
History has been my only constant interest for...well many decades ;-)
Excellent job history team!
Caesarion!
@@filipematias5127 autocorrect
Beautiful simply beautiful, the way you explained this part of history .
We grew up watching (Liz Taylor )Cleopatra , reading and hearing exploits of her and romans. There was even a program on history channel on her sisters but this is the first time I heard about her children fate
Thanks
I've read so much about Julius Caesar, Marc Antony, Cleopatra, and the times, yet still The History Guy has taught me something I never knew. Thanks guy!
Also, that poem at the end was actually kinda sad and beautiful
I still await the announcement of the discovery of Cleopatra's tomb...
Her body was likely lost, thrown into a common grave in the sand or her body was fed to Nile Crocs. The Roman's were smart: Don't let your vassals have monuments to rally around to revolt against you. This lesson was not lost on Marxists who tear down monuments to past great men in countries they take over and they erect their own flags and monuments in their place. Not happening in the USA of course....
@@christianfreedom-seeker2025 Wow, your post written ten months ago about statutes and monuments not being torn down in USA, OMG, how times have changed with violent criminal acts doing just that now. SMH.
@@christianfreedom-seeker2025 Just as well your anon because you talk crap!
@@richardschmitt5042 .Anonymous can't blame marxists for that
@@christianfreedom-seeker2025 Augustus had no reason to lie that he buried Marcus Antonius and Cleopatra in the same tomb, after Antonius defeat, he was the most powerful man in the word and accountability to no one, I believe after reading Plutarch that the tomb has be sunk into the ocean as a result of the earth quake that have occurred in Alexandria over the centuries after the burial
Excellent video. I must admit that until now, I had never even thought about
Cleopatra's children. Imagine if one of them had been able to follow in either (or any) of their parents' footsteps. Egypt and Rome might have followed a much different path.
Your illustrations, however, caused my dust heap of a mind to disgorge a comedian's line about the movie starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton: "Cleopatra's costumes must have been very expensive." "Nah - eight yards of Saran Wrap and some beads."
That comedian sounds like Groucho Marx.
Maybe the wealth of Egypt with the power of Rome through Caesarion would have been to much for the word to handle, and we are better off, without that path. Now Egypt was not likely a very co-operative part of Rome, having been humiliated by Rome through the treatment of Cleopatra. And seems like nothing big came through Cleopatra and Antony.
Maybe Octavia fostered them to be humble citizens, seeing the dangers lurking the powerful and ambitious. After all, she was related to Caesar, her uncle. Seline went for arts, at least. And from the boys we don't know, at least not yet.
@@timomastosalo probably murdered. Why would they just happen to fade away?
@@miriamhavard7621 Somebody mentioned there was somerecords of Seline years later. Don't know how her life ended, but wouldn't surrise me if she was murdered. And the boy for sure had high rink of being murdered. The powerful often get paranoid.
But what surprises me is Octavia did race them to adulthood, that much is known. Which could mean they might also have lived a pieceful adulthood, because they are not mentioned. Antony's and Cleopatra's kids killed might've been recorded though - they had enough name for that. But if they did nothing big, and just had unremarkable civil careers, and she as a wife to some nobiliy, and art as hobby...
Why would they fade? Well, they were first of all known because of the famous parents. But if their own tlaents were about average, it'sperfectly normal hey would send no tremors. Octavia might even have adviced them they would stay alive that way much more probably. They had powerful possible enemies. And why wouldn't they believe her? They had witnessed their parents die. Could've caused them traumas for the rest of their lives. Many such people are therapy customers nowadays. Those days maybe reclusive people, or suicide prone.
- I believe their unpeculiar life to be more logical reason, why they're are not mentioned afterwards. Their murders would have raised public interest, because Rome like most empires was also about the fame of noble family line.
They might have only existed on paper. Perhaps a later author invented them as a "slap" to Octavian.
@@timomastosalo Kleopatra Selene was married to the Numidian prince Juba II, and Augustus appointed them as client monarchs of Mauretania.
Many people think Cleopatra is a fictional character. Perhaps due to Elizabeth Taylor's depiction of her. She was real. Nice history lesson! Thanks.
Quite enlightening! I never knew Cleopatra had children and from both Caesar and Mark Anthony.
@@magistrumartium Politically shrewd, just her ambition was greater than her wisdom. With Antony, she bet the wrong horse. Maybe she was too frightened or embittered by Octavian to see clearly. She should have denounced Caesarion's claim to the Roman throne. Maybe he'd survived then.
Oh, please. In addition to wives in Rome, they also had dozens of mistresses in the same Rome, as well as in all parts of the world where they visited. One of Caesar's countless mistresses was Servillia, the mother of his killer Mark Brutus. The mistresses of Caesar and Antony were also other queens, besides Cleopatra. The Queen of Mauritania was the mistress of Caesar, the Queen of Cappadocia was the mistress of Anthony. I am not even talking about sex with slaves, courtesans and prostitutes.
@@Aristonika9999 Well, people in power - men or women. It's not like women are innocent angels, and men the monsters. It's just always easier to see the wrong in others, and not in the 'our kind' - be it our sex, family, tribe, nation, race etc. Like the Greeks and Romans saw their neighbours as barbars, and themselves as those who bring civilization.
Many in the West still admire them as such - when they were actually the iron boots which Mussolini and Hilter admired. Well, some of the Greek and Roman neighbours who got their civilization died in it, under its foot, or in slavery.
Interestingly, the Greeks got punished for their Macedonian Alexander's exploits in the hands of the Romans not that long after the height of the Hellenic culture. The Ptolemaic Greek rulers in Egypt were also quite incest infested, so their fall didn't come too late. And the Romans got their reward in the hands of the Germanic tribes. Though Rome very much continues in the Roman Catholic church. Different strategy.
There are reports of that sexual playing of the high and mighty of Egypt even before the Greeks came there. And I bet it wasn't the only country where that happened.
Though it's not like all cultures behaved the same, in a given time. The values and upbringing affect a lot in any era, and cause differences between countries.
But the people in power in any country easily get pampered and spoiled, and can push their will through. The problem is there's nobody to reign them down, and the younger they get used to that, the more callous they become. And sex has been thiir weapon long before Caesar's time.
Well, women mostly had to use others to do their killing, or then they used poison. And sexuality was a part of their tools to make that happen. Greeks and Vikings have been reported to have had some female soldiers. The name Amazon is Greek. And the Amazon women warriors were reported in South America too, by the Portuguese, or was it Spaniards. Maybe other cultures have had them too.
Men mostly used others to do their killing, but some skillful soldiers have been rulers as well, doing a lot of their killing. But if God intervenes suddenly, it might be too late for the rulers.
But these to show women have been playing the throne game as the men. And sexuality was their game too. Or how else the unfaithhull husbands of power status found lovers in power status? Mostly female, though of course there were male lovers with them too.
@@Aristonika9999 I do apologize coming at you too edgy. Sounded a bit one sided at that point. But your counter is something I appreciate, and I also see you know much more about them than I.
I'd also think there was probably love involved between Antony and Cleopatra. That's why I think she made a wrong political move getting on the wrong side of Octavian. Don't know if she underestimated him, or was not thinking that far. But the 2nd choice would sound odd - because there was still this claim to the Roman throne by Caesarion. And she most definitely knew Octavian was 1st promised that position as the heir of Caesar. No matter if Caesar later changed that - at least no matter after his death.
I think it's really that Ptolemy upbringing - this family had been so used to be deal with the power - why she couldn't let Caesarion step back from the claims of inheritance.Thus stepping on Ovtavian's toes. Maybe she really believed Antony would be stronger. It might've been quite close. The numbers might've even favoured Antony. And then the naval battle showed it's not just the numbers.
Tragically, it might've been her true love that clouded her judgment. Seeing too much in Antony, what comes to her political ambitions. And who knows, if Antony could have taken the power, if he wasn't pulled to another direction by true love.
I personally think true love is quite an opposite drive than the drive for power, which is much more selfish drive in us. True love is not selfish. I know, we mix strongly our selfish aims and needs to our love affairs - but if you truely love, you respect the other, and don't demand. Deep down, you can't really have both - high status and true love.
Doesn't change the fact that some do try to get them both. And break themselves and others on their way. They are usually the people who stop for nothing.
In the case of Antony and Cleopatra, it seemed that in the end, they just wanted more to live together, to take a smaller role in the public life. But a little too late - the see battle was a no turning point. At least that. Better would've been to give up the heir to Caesar claims of Caesarion right after Caesar's death.
But who knows if Octavian was paranoid enough, that he would've come after them anyway - they had so much power and supporters behind them.
@@magistrumartium , So wait, I'm not sure if Cleo was with a man prior to Ceasar, during, or after, but assuming she wasn't. She was with Caesar until his death, then she was with Antony until his death, and subsequently her death. Where in there is promiscuity if she had no obligations to a husband? On the other hand, both men intimately knowing they had wives and children still laid with Cleo. Meaning they did have obligations to spouses, not only that, but their children too which they deserted in their native country. Cleo did not leave her children to dwell in foreign lands so what does that make the men? Are they sluts?
If only high school was this entertaining...... it is worth remembering and I also add something I picked up somewhere (paraphrased) ... Those that fail to learn history are doomed to repeat it, but, those that fail to learn history CORRECTLY, are simply doomed
You can ignore history, but history is not going to ignore you.
Tolstoy said, "History would be a wonderful thing, if it were true"
As a classics minor in college, I was lucky enough to learn about Western Civilization and the overall benefits to mankind. Nice job summarizing Cleopatra's important part in history. Keep up the good work.
We all know the main event but its great to hear the back story, more excellent content delivered.
Thank you for filling me in on Cleopatra's children. You were easy to listen to and I hope to hear more of Cleopatra's life.
"known as little caesar?"
now we know who founded the pizza chain joint!
To be such a short video and this full of history. Simply amazing!
You do such great work in searching out historical records and forgotten stories. Props to you Sir, for your way of discovering lost snippets of time gone by and bringing such golden bits to our attention. I applaud you!
Another historical gem, excavated for us by the History Guy. No one ever talks about the offspring of Cleopatra and Marc Anthony in school history classes - not even college courses mention their children. You're episodes are similar to listening to Paul Harvey's The Rest of the Story - Good day. lol
An excellent and entertaining episode as always. Thank you. One of my favorite facts about Cleopatra emphasizes to me how brief our human history is compared to the geological age of the Universe. Cleopatra lived closer in time to the moon landings than she did to the construction of the pyramids associated with her Egypt.
Thanks, HG. The story of the late Pharaohs was such a strange period of history that very few ever learned, and those that did don't remember,
On another topic, just watched the episode of you and your wife discussing the channel. With a degree in history I'm surprised how little history I actually know. Your channel and some other sources are making some big additions to my brain cells. The new blue/titles are a welcome addition to the channel.
This channel is history that deserves to be remembered.
Thanks for posting this. I always wanted to know what happened to the children. Great research. Hard work for you. Excellent video for us.
Awesome. I learned something tonight .
Thanks. I particularly enjoyed the pictures relating to your story. Puts it into more perspective.
My wife and I, both love to listen to your voice in fact a lot of the time I don't watch the video , but just listen. Have you ever thought of putting out a audio podcast? I am a truck driver and would listen to you all day. Thanks for all you do.
SUGGESTION:
Do an episode on Edward Yorke McCauley - one of the most interesting individuals to have ever lived. A child to American diplomats in North Africa, he navigated the Mediterranean before he was a teenager. One of the first people to decipher hyroglyphics (his book is still being sold today - check Amazon), laid the first transatlantic telegraph line, traveled with Commodore Parry to force open trade with Japan, and captained a gunboat that hunted blockade runners during the American civil war. This guy is truly a forgotten legend in American history.
These videos are so well done and informative. Thank you for your work in presenting such a range of historical topics.
Thank you! I always wondered what became of Cleopatra's children. I knew Caesar's son was killed but not what happened to Anthony's children. Although the two boys eventual fates seem to be lost in the sauce of history, at least I know what happened to Cleopatra Selene.
That was fantastic. I love ancient history. More like this would be amazing.
History lessons for everyone .
I really enjoy your bite size documentaries.
Comes in really handy for UK pub quizzes.
Cheers mate
thank you for making me feel VERY OLD TODAY. i hadnt visited this subject since 1985, at penn state history 1 class. i had an absolutely AMAZING TEACHER, WHO, MUCH LIKE YOU, WAS EXCELLENT IN TEACHING HISTORY. i had previously had little interest in this time period, but after history 1, i learned so much. i still remember how stunned we all were with the attempt to "smear" in the senate. we think and thought our recent history was the only time for horrible campaigns of lies,deciet, etc...when its very much ancient history, that indeed, deserves to be remembered
Video is great! I enjoy listening to you. Thanks for sharing.♥️and history is full of gems.
the history guy here is and does make history not only educational but wonderful to listen to!

I had never heard of Cleopatra's children before. Thank you, Lance.

Thank you History Guy for making sense on a subject I never quite understood well... until recently and deserves to be remembered !
Thank you, History Guy and Mrs. History Guy, for your very informative and entertaining channel!
💖 all the artwork: yes, Cleopatra has inspired artists and actresses for centuries, LizTaylor's most famous role! I studied "Anthony and Cleopatra" for A-level and it contains some of Shakespeare's greatest poetry. Beautiful elegant eulogy at the end, thanks for making known so much authentic scholarly detail.
I love history, especially what has been forgotten. Thank you and keep up the good work!
History Guy and Gal, you are masters of connecting the dots and filling in the voids of my knowledge of so so many things, this episode being no exception. Cheers to you both!!
Absolutely fabulous! Loved it. Learned so much!
I remember reading that Cleopatra had children and have been amazed how little there was about them. This video provided a lot of insight thank you!
I find your videos well researched and your delivery extremely engaging. You pack a wealth of information into such short videos. Yet they never feel too long or confusing. Bravo, and thank you for your efforts.
Thank you for sharing knowledge of people and events we probably would not know about otherwise.
Most people never think about whether Cleopatra Κλιοπστρα (γ) VII hsd children. This is even if they saw the movie with Elizabeth Taylor which shows her triumphal entrance into Rome with her child , Caesarian, son of Juilius Caesar . They focus only on the drama of her romantic life and dramatic death. They don’t know she was fighting with her brother for the throne as they were to share it but he didn’t want to. The same happened about 1900 years earlier with Hatshepsut whose brother erased all public inscriptions of her after she died. We were unaware of her existence until Egyptian hieroglyphs started to be interpreted 200 years ago. Imagine Shakespeare had heard of Cleopatra because there were Greek and Roman records of her but no one in his time or for 2500 years back in time knew of Hatshepsut. There is a lot we don’t know about the Ancient Egyptians as the records have been lost foreve if there ever were any. Another confusing factor is a lot of what you think you know about Ancient Egypt is a Greek interpretation from Cleopatra’s time. All the names of things like the pyramids, the Sphinx even pharoah are Greek names not the original Egyptian ones. Actually we do know now what the Egyptians called them but it is little known. We don’t know how to say the words or what they meant. That’s what I have been working on for about seven years. It’s more important than you might think.
I enjoyed this episode very much.
Love this one about Cleopatra’s children.
Thanks for including that eulogy!
So the pizza place could actually be called Ptolemy XV Philopator Philometor Caesar's
I guess it's best they stuck with Little Caesar's
I'll take one Sicilian and one Hawaiian, to go.
Giggling
@@dave-in-nj9393 Hawaiian pizza is a disgrace. If you're from Jersey, you ought to know better.
@@MrEvanfriend And we all know that the origin of pizza is New Jersey, NOT.
@@braddblk No, but New Jersey, as it is part of the greater New York area, is one of the best places in the country for pizza, regardless of where it originated. If you're from Wisconsin or Florida or California or whatever and you don't have access to decent pizza - and people from outside of the greater New York area generally do not have access to decent pizza - then putting nonsense like pineapple on pizza might be excusable. But if you're from New Jersey, you have no excuse.
This was very interesting- - thank you for so much clarity - and as you know nothing is ever lost forever - timing will reveal what happened to the other two children - hope I’m around when it’s discovered
You’re doing a great job I love your presentation and delivery content good job work I’ll tell all my friends about you
I saw a special that actually looked at the ruins (now under water) and looked at the legend she killed her self with an asp.
Things were not adding up.
The written account of what happened, the distances traveled described, and what happened timing wise made no sense.
They concluded Cleopatra was probably murdered because she was good at manipulating and turning people to her side. They changed her guards a few times because of this. The asp story was made to tarnish her image......but that actually backfired in the end.
Either by Asp or Sword, Cleopatra became a legend. The last Pharaoh of Egypt. An intelligent multi languages woman who was loved by Julius Cesar and Mark Anthony.
By “loosing” she won.
It’s old Egyptian tradition that as long as the names of the dead are spoken by the living....the dead live on.
She has become truly a Goddess if this is true.
More like a succubus for sodomites......
Thanks again! Top work!
Wow, I'll have to watch this one two or three more times to digest everything you conveyed. So little has changed; we humans struggling for power while dealing with our desires and frailties... our basic carnal desires.
An excellent biography of an hither to "unsung hero".... Kudos to you sir, you now have my attention and my thanks for what you do.
Super interesting! Thanks for sharing this.
very informative, thanks guy!
Interesting bit about how the Romans viewed epilepsy. I myself have epilepsy, and have never viewed it as a blessing, but, still, it was interesting to hear.
Roman history is so complicated and fascinating
"Ahhh, love -- A bond so easily severed!" (Davie Jones) Sure glad I never lived in THAT era!
Thank you for continuing my education.
Very well done. Also I read about how you apologised for your error..... bravo!
The Burial Cave found on the Illinois River contained the sarcophogi of Cleopatra Ptolemy and Juba ll along with 2 children. Carvings read Alexander Helios and other significant names.
That was proven to be a hoax.
I think that most people think it was Egyptians that ruled Egypt.
Thanks for clearing that up.
I think most people are right!! Black Egyptian ruled from the beginning till the end of the dynasty, when Roman, Grecos invaded is at the end of the dynasty. So stop the racist rhetoric!!
@@chrisjackson718 It’s not racist. The Egyptians weren’t homogenous even before the Ptolemies.
That’s nice to hear that the crowd had some sympathy for the orphaned kids of Cleopatra.
I must say, that I did not like history at all in school. But now it seem more mind setting to me and interesting of how the world has become what it is today. The greedy are still around to this day and age. Thank you for what you do and my grand children like it also.
An interesting character indeed.
Terrific ! Always wanted to know what happen to the kids. The Ptolemy's as a family is full of characters and great libraries and lighthouses and, and monuments, etc. And very likely knew the location of Alexandra's tomb and its treasures. Thanks for sharing.
I enjoy ALL you're Story's very much, thank you. Regards Bruce McKay 🇦🇺🙃🏄♂️.
According to Italian tradition, the surname “D’Antonio” was adopted to denote a descendant of Mark Antony (Marco Antonio in Italian). I believe Plutarch wrote that Antony had two children with Octavian’s sister, so that gives a 3/5 chance that a D’Antonio is a descendant of Cleopatra.
Salutations.👋 As always, we'll done. I appreciate how you give facts, and have no personal agenda, unlike ”the history channel.” You make History sound vivid and so cool. Thanks a Million.
These are so well done, omg.
Fantastic as always, Thank you History Guy👍
Wonderful, as always! I was honestly slack-mouthed to learn that Mark Anthony's wife raised his three children with Cleopatra. Whaaat?? But then I had to remember that people probably viewed such social situations differently: They were the children of her own husband. Who else would have been better to raise them? If left in Egypt, they most certainly would have been killed. But I wonder how the four of them dealt with mother issues!?!
So Cleopatra was the matriarch of A Dysfunctional Family.
Just like the current British so called royal's

Yet another great story.
Cesarean was actually the son of Legionary Titus Pullo, who as everyone knows was instrumental in the fall of the Roman Republic. Pullo was later sent by Augustus to kill Cesarean. However Pullo managed to convince Augustus that he'd killed Cesarean when he'd in fact brought him back to Rome were, as far as we know, Cesarean lived out his life.
Yep. I saw it with me own eyes I did.
Titus Pullo and his son were last seen on the road exiting Rome. Realizing the dangers, and rejecting the urban life, Pullo was rumored to have returned to his native land, somewhere near present-day Manchester.
@@WDeranged I'm glad someone else knows the 'true' history!
Congrats 500K subs AWESOME
Cleopatra is my friend. I've had a majority obsession with her for quite some time now. But I realise only Jesus Christ can save my soul. Jesus is my hero. But, but I still love Cleopatra very much. Cleopatra & Mark Anthony who really really loved Cleopatra. Caserion her son also my friend. This video just made me smile as I didn't know, she had 3children. I relate to Clear and vice-versa -> deep depression and due to loosing everything. I love you Cleo -> its Rowan. p.s keep your treasure hidden sweet sweet Cleopatra. Pure class x
"William Shakespeare - the English playwright"
Glad you took the trouble to be so specific - there have been so many famous William Shakespeare that it can get quite confusing.
The multiple, diverse depictions of Cleopatra's countenance in your video bring to mind the multiple, diverse depictions of the countenance of Sacagawea, who accompanied Lewis and Clark from the Mandan villages to the Pacific and back to her point of origin in 1805-1806. It would be utterly amazing to learn what these two remarkable women actually looked like.
Thank you for this video. I was craving more international history from this channel and less national stuff. This was it! I hope more come! Well done 👍
Awesome. Great piece.
It's a shame of the children in chains. Very sad. Thank you for this information. I never learned this my history classes.
I hate to tell a man he’s right...but you sir..are right! History that deserves to be remembered....should absolutely be remembered, especially the way you present it. 🥰🥰🥰
At last someone who knows what he's talking about concerning Cleopatra VII's children!
I actually never knew that Cleopatra had children.
Great information and super video,,,, thanks
It's possible they changed the names of the boys and that's why no one can find them. I loved this episode.Thank you somuch for doing these.
Like so many in comments I can't thank you enough for you and your channel for enriching our lives.
Cleopatra belonged to a 300 year old dynasty of pharoahs who were ethnic Greeks, and were likely multi-lingual, even generations before Ptolemy. Cleopatra was multi-lingual, and spoke Egyptian dialects, and both Roman (Latin) and Greek like a native speaker, among other languages.
Appreciate your work, and enjoy watching your videos. Have you, or could you do a piece on the 10,000 Greek mercenary army mentioned in the Anabasis? A real Greek Odyssey.
