Cleopatra

Series "Great beauties". After the death of Caesar, whom she considered the main man in her life and mourned for years, Cleopatra was sure that she was no longer able to love. How wrong she was! However, her feeling for Mark Antony cannot be called simply love - it was a desperate, frenzied, maddening, suicidal passion that cost both of them not only the kingdom, but also their heads, but neither Cleopatra nor her chosen one regretted it even before death. .Let them long past the age of Romeo and Juliet (Mark Antony was over fifty, Cleopatra was under forty - in the Ancient World these are already advanced years!); let it be easier for a man to conquer than to re-educate, and a wonderful lover does not always become an exemplary spouse; let a merciless war blaze around, armies and fleets perish, kingdoms collapse - they would rather die together than live in separation!
