The Aftermath: The Death of Cleopatra

The Alarmist
About this episode

New Guest Expert! On this week’s Aftermath, Rebecca speaks with Pulitzer Prize winning biographer Stacy Schiff about the life and death of Cleopatra VII. Author of the NYTimes No. 1 Bestseller Cleopatra: A Life, Stacy helps paint a more robust picture of an incredibly intelligent and capable ruler far beyond her exotic reputation and the speculations around her alleged great beauty. Then, Patreon subscribers can listen to the post-interview discussion with Producer Clayton Early and Fact Checker Chris Smith to hear the takeaway.
