The truth is that the queen was highly despised by the romans, and they were the ones that depicted her as a power-hungry ruler of egypt. Most historians who wrote about her were heavily influenced by the romans, who had managed to erase her side of the story. Most of her fingerprints, too, were gone, all lost to history, so it can be hard for readers who are curious about the egyptian queen to actually find an easy-to-read guide that tells her story.
