Sharon McGregor looks back at the Cleopatra and Antony romance

 
Cleopatra has always personified beauty and romance. We picture her
as Elizabeth Taylor portrayed her, kohl-eyed, bejewelled and covered with gold out to impress Mark Antony.  It's difficult to tell from the busts made of her what she really looked like (probably sans the violet eyes) but she must have been a beauty to be able to
seduce and hold the affections first of Caesar and then of Mark
Antony.
