- アート
Professor Diana Kleiner, Dunham Professor of the History of Art and Classics and Principal Investigator of Open Yale Courses, discusses the change that Cleopatra believed in and how it led to a rendezvous with the destiny of Rome. Cleopatra effected change through such dramatic acts as rolling out of carpet and committing death by asp. She also used education, status, wealth, and celebrity to craft a dramatic strategy to unite East and West. Her story can be best told through works of art and other remnants of what was once an opulent material culture.
