Through my search for books, I stumbled upon a sourcebook written by a professor of Rutgers University after establishing a course centered around Cleopatra and her image. Although I have other books and have skimmed through them, the sourcebook has captured a bit more of my interest then the others. While all of it is interesting, like Cleopatra's father being exiled by his eldest daughter and had her executed on his return , I'm in the process of seeing what is relevant to my topic and gaining some background information. When I find what I really need, my plan is to double check my primary sources. If they are correct, I'm sure to find more sources similar to the one Strabo apparently stated: "Augustus Caesar, after pursuing (Cleopatra and Antony), brought about both their deaths and ended the drunken abuse of Egypt."
