    Carry on Cleo. More historically accurate than Netflix.

    Lyndsey Marshal in HBO's Rome is fantastic. I always picture her interpretation in my mind when discussing Cleopatra.

    You briefly touch on Egypt as the breadbasket of the Mediterranean, but fail to mention how critical it was to the Roman grain supply.

    Aren't we glad that Netflix finally put an end to the debate over her ethnicity?! " facts? We don't need no stinking facts!"

    How in the world can you talk about her “ethnicity debate” without mentioning that North Africa is not sub-Saharan. People hailing from the African continent are not universally black and the assumption that they are is a modern skullduggery in the service of ideological dogma. This whole “debate” is ideologically driven nonsense.
