You'll feel ready to take on all your little subjects whether they're dressed up as Roman soldiers or werewolves and witches. After all, respect for Queen Cleopatra is universal! In Caesar and Cleopatra, Pascal takes inspiration from George Bernard Shaw’s play (also titled Caesar and Cleopatra) to reimagine Cleopatra no longer as a busty, seductive sex symbol but instead as a shy nymphet figure.

Her wit and intelligence were often downplayed or overshadowed entirely by her sexiness in accounts written by her Roman critics.

An impressive move, and one that endeared herself to Mark Antony, who fancied himself to be an embodiment of Dionysus, the Greek god of wine and revelry.There's speculation to this day about the way that Cleopatra took her own life. She'd been known for her penchant for poison, so it's generally agreed upon that it played a role, with one rumor claiming she'd poisoned herself. One of the most generally accepted stories is that she induced an asp (an Egyptian cobra) to bite her.
