Cleopatra and CaesarRoman general trembles before the queen of the Nile

The story

Ancient history gets a tabloid makeover. Caesar, Rome's mighty lion, is losing ground in the east while Cleopatra's forces push closer. His advisors suggest he study the prize the enemy offers and imagine her at his war table. The general barks that he is a married man and tries to dismiss her. Yet she appears in his tent, unflinching, and he trembles. Episode 1 is a war council with an unexpected rival and a general trying hard to stay on message.

The twist

Episode 2 finds Cleopatra confronting him after her men are attacked. He calls this a mistake. She calls it playing with fire, and invites him to burn. Then she drops the bombshell that she is expecting his heir, and she found out before he arrived.

Developing story

An empire, a wife in Rome and a baby on the way: the paid episodes show whether Caesar picks his army or the queen.
