Plot:
In 48 B.C., Caesar pursues Pompey from Pharsalia to Egypt. Ptolemy, now supreme
ruler after deposing his older sister, Cleopatra, attempts to gain favor with
Caesar by presenting the conquerer with the head of Pompey, borne by his
governors, Pothinos and Achillas. To win Caesar\'s support from her brother,
Cleopatra hides herself in a rug, which Apollodorus, her servant, presents to
Caesar. The Roman is immediately infatuated; banishing Ptolemy, he declares
Cleopatra Egypt\'s sole ruler and takes her as his mistress. A son, Caesarion, is
born of their union. Caesar, however, must return to Italy. Although he is
briefly reunited with Cleopatra during a magnificent reception for the queen in
Rome, Caesar is assassinated shortly thereafter, and Cleopatra returns to Egypt.
When Mark Antony, Caesar\'s protégé, beholds Cleopatra aboard her elaborate barge
at Tarsus some years later, he is smitten and becomes both her lover and
military ally. Their liaison notwithstanding, Antony, to consolidate his
position in Rome, marries Octavia, sister of the ambitious Octavian. The
marriage satisfies no one. Cleopatra is infuriated, and Antony, tiring of his
Roman wife, returns to Egypt. There he flaunts his liaison by marrying Cleopatra
in a public ceremony. Sensing Antony\'s weakness, Octavian attacks and defeats
his forces at Actium. Alarmed, Cleopatra withdraws her fleet and seeks refuge in
her tomb.
