The Last Ptolemy, Cleopatra In this week’s podcast, Melvyn Bragg and his guests, Catharine Edwards, and Maria Wyke Susan Walker talk about the Ptolemic ruler of the Ancient Egypt, Cleopatra. They start from the very beginning with her and her father and go through her time as she interacts with Roman Empire with Julius Cesar and Mark Antony. She is a very interesting personality as she has not only affected Egypt but also the Roman Empire.
