Observacions i context
Other famous rulers were the also famous Artemisia II (4th century BC), who, when widowed by her husband Mausolus de Caria (377 – 353 BC), ordered the construction of a grandiose and spectacular funerary monument in his honour, considered one of the seven wonders of Antiquity: the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus; Cleopatra Philopator (1st century BC), queen of Egypt, or Zenobia of Palmyra (3rd century AD). Of these, Cleopatra and Zenobia also commanded their armies, in this case against the Romans, and they were joined by others, such as Boudica, queen of the Iceni, who led several British tribes against the Romans.
Descripció
