S2E21: Cleopatra Finale, The End of the Hellenistic Era

Many moons ago, I had a thought. “Hey! It would be fun to do a bookend series covering the Hellenistic Age with Alexander the Great and Cleopatra!”

21 episodes and small novel’s worth of notes later, we have reached the conclusion of the series. After the Battle of Actium, Cleopatra and Antony continue to fight but are running out of options. As Octavian closes in on Alexandria, the situation turns desperate. Ultimately, the ramifications of the events in this episode mark a turning point in Western Civilization. Tune in for the conclusion of Cleopatra’s epic tale!!!!
