This colorful theme chess set is based on Rome's conquest of Egypt led by the armies of Julius Caesar and Cleopatra IIIV against Queen Arsinoe IV and King Ptolemy XIII. The short lived war culminated in the Battle of the Nile in 47 BC in which Caesar defeated the Egyptian king. The pieces are artistically designed with features and fine detail to capture the essence of the characters. The pieces are cast in solid polystone, a very hard, stone-like material, and are hand painted in realistic colors by highly skilled artisans with amazing detail.
