📜 Cleopatra: A Drunken Bet - Cleopatra VII Philopator. One of the most famous women of all history with one of the most dramatic stories. We've all heard how she gained the affections of two of the most powerful men of Rome, and committed suicide through snake bite. And while that story is very dramatic, it doesn't really capture the full brilliance of Cleopatra. More than just a romantic figure, Cleopatra was cunning, charismatic, and ruthless. And to understand how she developed into such a fierce politician, we gotta talk about her family, the Ptolemys. Talk about a nest of vipers.

A previous version of this episode contained a section that caused confusion about the historical material. In light of this, we have decided to re-upload an updated version with the section cut. We'll discuss the reasons for this decision in Lies, but we felt it was appropriate in this instance. Thank you for bringing it to our attention and we'll strive to do better in the future.

Alexander "died without an heir" should really be 'without an viable adult heir' sinve both his half brother Phillip III and his infant son Alexander IV did exist.

@nuralibolataev4474 3 года назад

I liked the video but personally, I wouldn't say that she "dunked" on Ceasar because from my understanding they "dunked" together. Antony however, she definitely dunked on by making him one of history's greatest simps. But Agustus defiantly dunked on her by you know wining the war killing her children and officially conquering her home, but she did go out like a boss.

@admiralyi8673 2 года назад

Well Agustus didn’t kill all her children just Ceasarion, her twins Cleopatra VIII Selene and Alexander Helios were kept alive and lived as his neice and nephew. Though at some point Alexander fell off the face of the earth because not much is known about him past his and his sister’s adoption.

@epl5097 3 года назад

Even though I really enjoyed the episode I thought that some times it confused which facts applied to general history of Ptolemaic Egypt with those only relevant to the years that Cleopatra was alive. For instance it mentions that Ptolemaic Egypt was not famous for its military might, which is true during the years before Cleopatra's birth, but is inaccurate for most of the existence of the Ptolemaic dynasty. Ptolemaic Egypt between 323-198 BCE processed one of the most powerful militaries in the ancient world. While Rome was fighting Carthage during the Punic Wars, Egypt was fighting an even larger conflict, the Syrian Wars, against its great rival the Seleucid Empire. It was only after the great Seleucid victory at the Battle of Panium, during the Fifth Syrian War, that Ptolemaic military power completely collapsed (with only brief military revivals after this date). It is still a great episode but it just needed a bit more care to clearly define when it is talking about general Ptolemaic history and when its discussing Cleopatra's story. As a side note can I just mention how sad it is that the Syrian Wars, one of the largest and most heart breaking conflicts in the ancient world, is largely completely forgotten.

Also like how you portrayed Cleopatra - it seems like you based her look on the images of her from coins from the period. I look forward to the next segment.

I hope you do something on the Wars Of The Diadochi, between the successor states of the Macedonian Empire, with the top players being the Ptolemies, the Antigonid Dynasty in Macedonia and the Seleucids, born of Seleucus the Victor ruling over quite a large chunk of Alexander’s old empire. It’s such an underrepresented and epic point in history, filled with intrigue and battles between some of the greatest generals of the age. Also it’s strange that you say she dunked on Octavian, when Octavian was the one that defeated her and Antony, and didn’t fall for her seduction like Caesar and Marky Mark did, and was gonna bring her back to Rome to show her off as a trophy being executing her. Safe to say Cleopatra backed the wrong horse, geez Octavian was quite the ruthless young man. Infact I don’t think she ever dunked on Julius, Julius just loved her, not for her looks (Caesar had sex with any women that made eye contact with him), but for the fact she was just really interesting to talk to.

When it comes to getting dunked on by Cleopatra, don't lump Octavian along with Caesar and Antony. But if running away from the Battle of Actium, losing her army and navy and eventually her kingdom, having to commit suicide to escape being taken prisoner and having one child murdered while three others paraded in a triumph in golden chains is considered being dunked on, then sure, Cleopatra dunked on Octavian.

"She dunked on Octavian" Who won at Actium again? And what happened after that particular battle?

Cleopatra: *attempts to seduce Octavian like Caesar and Mark Antony* Octavian: Virginity is cool. Remain pure 😎

I mean I find more amazing a kid who managed to outsmart the entire know world while also fighting against his poor health, that also had an amazing talent to pick the right men for a job and who didn't screwed up Caesar's legacy

Bogdan Ionuț Agrippa deserves half of the credit for Actium just like Labienus in Gaul

I watched the video on Kings and Generals on the fighting over Alexander's corpse. Sound like an Age of Empire ii "get the relic (which is what the corpse is )" mission.

The cobra's name Aspen obviously refers to the archiac name for them: 'asp', but I find it funny because aspen fibre is what a lot of reptile hobbyists use as bedding in enclosures.

Cleopatra most certainly did not dunk on Augustus. She may have killed herself on her own terms but he beat her armies. Captured or killed her kids. Conquered her home. And is the one who left a far greater impact on the world. Doesn’t sound like a dunk to me.

There is a story back when Rome was still a regional growing power and there was a low level magistrate in Alexandria when the Seleucids were about today siege. The magistrate walked out and drew a line in front of the Seleucid king and said if you step across this line you answer to the might if Rome. The Seleucid withdrew out of Egypt.
