Liz Taylor is Cleopatra in the eponymous film
You know the famous Cleopatra's ploy , what the queen used to meet and seduce Caesar?
She ran in the year 48 BC and the leaders of Egyptian politics were torn apart by the fratricidal struggle for the throne waged by Ptolemy and Cleopatra.
She knew well that she was in danger and decided to ask for the protection of the Roman, who at that moment was in Alexandria looking for Pompeo, took refuge there after the civil war.
Cultured and intelligent, as well as aware of her own charm, Cleopatra devised a system for arriving unscathed at the appointment.
Asking for the support of a faithful servant, she let herself be wrapped in a carpet (or in one of those hemp bags used to contain precious carpets and fabrics) and she had herself taken to the palace where Cesare was staying.
Well hidden, she managed to evade the guards.
When the woman came out of her shell that protected her showing herself in all her splendor, the Roman politician was dazzled.
The passion between the two broke out that same night, which was followed by many others.
Cleopatra's stratagem served to obtain more than the hoped-for protection.
In fact, as is well known, a relationship was born between her and the general which was certainly political, but probably also of love.
They also had a son, the unfortunate Caesarion ( Photo from :youtube.com).
