The part about Charmian being Cleopatra's half-sister (rather than her servant) is, I'm reasonably sure, a fictionalization on the author's part.Sarah Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13340312953393474963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19307003.post-25050868570387804172008-08-08T08:08:00.000-05:002008-08-08T08:08:00.000-05:00Thanks for the great preview Sarah.
