SUMMARY:Imperial Barge: Cleopatra the Goddess
DESCRIPTION:Charles Eliot Norton Memorial Lectureship \nSpeaker: Dr. Alison Futrell\, University of Arizona  \nAbstract:\nOne of the key motifs in popular representations of the last of the Ptolemies is Cleopatra’s Barge\, a nexus of seduction\, pleasure\, gratification. For the historical Cleopatra VII\, the barge was a political and religious platform for shaping positive interactions with diverse audiences in the ancient Mediterranean\, meant to stabilize and secure her realm and shape a vision for future authority\, with power strongly founded in the past. In Egypt\, Cleopatra reinforced connections with local powerbrokers and processed between ritual centers\, a dynamic divine ruler enacting key functions that ensured the practical and sacred continuity of her realm. Her famous Nile Cruise with Julius Caesar was a sacred pageant that featured her newly secured strength as queen\, goddess\, partner and chosen of the gods. Her notorious meeting with Antony on the barque of Isis was both a ritualized performance of royal leadership and the reassertion of dynastic claims\, the launch of a new Empire rising in the Eastern Mediterranean.
