Curiously, part of one of the letters to Octavian (Augustus) written in 33 B.C. by Mark Antony about his relationship with Cleopatra has survived. Here's a part of it:
What's upset you? Because I go to bed with Cleopatra? But she's my wife and I've been doing so for nine years not just recently. And anyway, is Livia your only pleasure? I expect that you will have managed, by the time you read this, to have hopped into bed with Tertulla, Terentilla, Rufilla, Salvia Titisenia, or the whole lot of them. Does it really matter where, or with what women, you get your excitement?
Cool huh?

Thanks for posting that...I knew of it in general terms, but not the meat and potatoes. Again, thanks!
