The Battle of Actium. Excerpt from Cleopatra VII: a Play in Five Acts

The Battle of Actium was a major sea battle between the allied forces of Pharaoh Cleopatra VII and General Marcus Antonius against the full military might of Rome as lead by Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus. If you are a fan of the 1963 film epic, you will find this scene extremely different from that version of Cleopatra’s story.
