Julius Caesar and Cleopatra were a thing. He’s the dude who had her delivered in a rolled up carpet.
Slightly incorrect, she snuck into his palace, she wasn’t delivered.
Apparently it was actually a cloth sack but the plays and films prefer carpets so w/e
What you’re missing is the fact that Julius had a lot of “things.” He also thought Friday, Saturday, and Sunday were For the Boys.
As a couple Mark Antony and Cleopatra are probably a bit more famous, as it’s far more dramatic (ending with their executions at the end of the civil war), they actually married, and it was by all repute actually a love match. Or at least a sincere affection match.
One of the most famous couples in history along with Marilyn Monroe and James Dougherty, King Henry VIII and Catherine Parr, JFK and Mimi Alford, Prince Charles and Amanda Knatchbull.
