MARRIAGE OR MIRAGE? THE PHANTOM WEDDING OF CLEOPATRA AND ANTONY.

The Queen and the Triumvir took their place upon a dais. The Queen wore a long gown of gold tissue that made her figure look even more slim and supple.

      ab: The Queen and the Triumvir took their place upon a dais. The Queen wore a long gown of gold tissue that made her figure look even more slim and supple. A stomacher of magnificent gems encased her breasts. Upon her head was the double diadem of Upper and Lower Egypt, encircled by the sacred uraeus.... The Queen rose, took up a fan and tenderly fanned her Consort. Then, with the ancient golden spatula which through the centuries was used to anoint the Kings of Egypt, she anointed Mark Antony on the head and the hands and mouth—the head that thinks of great deeds, the hands that accomplish them and the mouth that utters wise words. After this, the Egyptian Ministers and the High Priest advanced, and prostrating themselves before their Queen and her King-Consort, they kissed the ground and their feet. The High Priest placed a crown upon the brows of the Sovereigns, and the scribes drew up the papyrus enscribed with the hieroglyphics that would fix for ever the names of the wedded pair and declare the twins Alexander Helios and Cleopatra Selene legitimate as a result of the marriage.
