The true love story of Mark Antony and Cleopatra is one of the most memorable and intriguing. The story of these two historical characters was later recreated in the works of William Shakespeare, and was screened by famous directors many times. The relationship between Mark Antony and Cleopatra is a true test of love with falling in love at first sight and big efforts from both of them.
Relations between these two influential people put Egypt in a very favorable position. However, their romance was extremely outraged by the Romans, who feared that because of it the influence of the Egyptians would increase significantly. Despite all the threats, Marc Antony and Cleopatra were married. It is said that while in battle against the Romans, Mark received false news about the death of Cleopatra. Feeling devastated, he committed an act of suicide. When Cleopatra found out about Antony's death, she was shocked, and then she also committed suicide. According to Dion Cassius, Antony and Cleopatra were embalmed in Egyptian custom and buried in one grave.
Great love requires great sacrifice.
