He was also Cleopatra's lover and bore him a son, called Caesarion.Gender confusion has apparently been around a while.
Caesarion's father was Caesar. His mother was Cleopatra. His cousin Octavian probably had Caesarion killed eventually.
Antony was back in Italy at the time doing what he did best. Being an a**hole.

[Born in Rome, Mark Antony was a military general and commander, as well as supporter of Julius Caesar. He was also Cleopatra’s lover and bore him a son, called Caesarion. ]
Using something I like to call plain English, this seems to say Mark Anthony got pregnant and bore a son to Cleopatra, who was a he. Maybe they were gods back then.

Fantastic.
I'm sorry I never got to visit Egypt. As long as I can remember I'd wanted too. There's not enough oil on the planet that could make me drag my butt to that neck of the woods now.

Augustus was not the first emperor. There had been previous dictators, the first which was Horatio Cockles who at the bridge over the Tiber, stopped the Tarquin kings from being reinstalled.
Julius Caesar, Crassus, Pompey, Sulla, Gaius Marius had all been dictator (Imperator) at some time.

Until recently access to the tomb has been hindered because it is under water, but archaeologists plan to drain the site so they can begin excavation in November. They suspect the tomb is under water?? For how long? Wouldn't that kind of effect the contents therein?

Gender confusion has apparently been around a while.
Apparently it had been around a while even back then: "Cleopatra ... was ... considered the last of seven queens of the same name."

Amazing how European Cleopatra looked... Funny thing, that.
Ranks right up there with the pics I saw in Sunday school decades ago that showed a blonde, blue-eyed Jesus with vaguely Scandinavian features... ;-)
Personally I think until proven otherwise, Cleopatra looked just like the young Liz Taylor.
