When Cleopatra and Antony stood side by side they were at the pinnacle of power. Cleopatra VII Thea Philopator was the queen of an ancient civilisation, and heir to the unmatched cultural achievements of Greece. Marcus Antonius of Rome contended for control of the empire.
Together they fought against Octavian and would bring about the end of the republic, and the start of a new age for Rome.
Recorded live at ACMI studios in Melbourne on 4th October, 2022.
