The World of Juba II and Kleopatra Selene - Royal Scholarship on Rome's African Frontier (Hardcover)

This book explores the complex culture and legacy of the north African kingdom of Mauretania, ruled by the scholarly client king Juba II and his wife Kleopatra, daughter of Mark Anthony and Kleopatra VII. This detailed and comprehensive study is not only the first examination in English of Juba's life and career, but the first critical analysis of the king both as an implementer of the Augustan political, artistic and intellectual programme and as a notable scholar.
