In events that are well known not only from ancient history but through the versions popularized in later art and drama, Cleopatra sailed in her state boat up the Kydnos River to Tarsos. Whatever political issues she and the triumvir settled that summer, the relationship soon became personal, and Antonius was invited to Alexandria for a winter visit. He stayed until the spring of 40 BC; by summer, when he had returned to Rome, Cleopatra had given birth to twins.

Cleopatra: You will therefore assume the position of a suppliant before this throne. You will kneel. 

Antony: I will *what*? 

Cleopatra: On-your-knees! 

Antony: You dare ask the Proconsul of the Roman Empire 

Cleopatra: I asked it of Julius Caesar. I demand it of you!

“Cleopatra VII, the last Macedonian Greek queen of Egypt, descended of a long line of Ptolemaic kings.She did not approach Caesar wrapped in a carpet, she was not a seductress, she did not use her charm to persuade the men in her life to lose their judgement, and she did not die by the bite of an asp…Yet other important elements of her career have been bypassed in the post-antique recension: she was a Skilled naval commander, a published medical authority, and an expert royal administrator who was met with adulation throughout the eastern Mediterranean, perhaps seen by some as a messianic figure, the hope for a future Eastern Mediterranean free of Roman domination.”

- Duane Roller, Cleopatra: A Biography

Just a reminder that there is probably a Family Portrait that looks something like this out there in regency Verse. (More ornate and more old man looking but that’s the gist. Most hilarious mental image ever)
