Now that you mention it "the Gaper" does ring a bell but I can't remember from where, or "Thick Lips" either. Thought I had it, but...arrgh!

"Richard Burton, had bulging eyes, thick neck and a hook nose." Burton didn't seem that ugly.

I remember reading some time ago, that Cleopatra had also suffered from smallpox as a child, and had a pockmarked face.
Cleopatra's ancestry was Macedonian. She did, in all likelihood, look like Joey Buttafucco, but with smallpox scars and a knobbier chin. I'd trust the image on the coin.

Robert Graves' autobiographical Goodbye to all that is worth reading--very interesting account of his experiences in the First World War. There is a little about his later life on one of the Balearic Islands in Paul Theroux' The Pillars of Hercules.

I can't remember where I heard it (read, I think actually), either.

The guy who made the coins probably never saw either of them. If this dumbass writer really thinks these coins are a true likeness of Anthony and Cleopatra, he's in the wrong business. Wow! You're all over the place with negativity!
SMOOCH!
