Cleopatra's
First visit to Rome.
She
Turned Heads. The Senate was not amused
Cleopatra
visited Rome in 46 BC, was received in triumph, and moved into
Caesar's villa even though Caesar was already married. Caesar's
imperial ambitions and his indiscreet extramarital affair with
Cleopatra turned powerful senators against him, and he was murdered
on the steps of the Senate in March of 44 BC. |
