Although there are many books written about the most famous Cleopatra, this is the only study in English devoted to her less well-known but equally illustrious namesakes.

John Whitehorne also evaluates current views of Cleopatra VII's dramatic suicide, and considers the evolving political significance of royal women in the last three centuries BC. Clearly and engagingly written, Cleopatras reveals the true significance to the ruling dynasties of the 34 known Cleopatras who were not Cleopatra the Great, and illuminates some fascinating but little-known aspects of ancient Greek and Egyptian history along the way.…

Schwartz presented a short account of the chronology of Caracallas stay in Egypt. Although the chronological table given there remains the standard reference for this imperial visit, the interpretation offered for P. Stras. 245 stands in need of modification I believe. P. Stras. 245 is a letter from Aurelius Aelius Isidorus, strategus of the Heracleides meris of the Arsinoite, to the village officials responsible for providing pack animals for the emperors visit, informing them that by public proclamation the animals provided are now being returned.
