Caesar conquered the most powerful rivals, exposed himself in battles, overcame extreme difficulties and knew no surrender. He was truly the dictator, ruler and emperor of Rome. Women were the one thing he could not resist, making him yield and capitulate. There was one special lady, the Queen of Egypt, who swept Julius Caesar off his feet. A love that was as endless as space and as irresistible as the tides of the ocean; a pure and powerful kind of love without which the world becomes a lifeless mass of matter. It was only death that could thwart the immensity of such a love. And death it was that stood between Cleopatra and Caesar.
