My immediate reaction to a mention of Cleopatra: "Is that Jeanne Reames?" And then I clicked on the link (no, I did not watch, predictably), and saw Jeanne Reames straight off! I liked her Alexander books, can recommend. Cleopatra/Kleopatra is indeed a great character, and in general the characterization is good.
