Cleopatra vs. Catherine: A Battle of Queens

Cleopatra VII versus Catherine the Great. Two of history's most powerful queens, but who wins in

a fight? We're placing them in neutral terrain, armed with era-appropriate weapons and their

strategic minds. Cleopatra commanded armies and navigated deadly political intrigue,

surviving multiple assassination attempts through cunning alone. Catherine expanded

Russia through military conquest, personally leading reforms that modernized her entire army.

Cleopatra's strength lies in manipulation and alliance-building, turning enemies into tools.

Catherine's advantage is direct military experience and access to superior 18th century weaponry.

In close combat with period weapons, Cleopatra relies on deception and poison.
