Legend has it that Cleopatra, wearing a jewel-encrusted tanga, bewitched Roman general Marc Antony, drinking a cocktail of pearls dissolved in vinegar. Close to 60 films, most notably the Hollywood classic starring Liz Taylor, have been devoted to a woman Horatio called the "demon of doom." But the ancient original wasn't nearly as beautiful as many of the modern-day divas who have portrayed her on the silver screen. Goddio's divers recovered more than 30 coins with Cleopatra's likeness and reconstructed her face using computer technology. The resulting image shows a woman with a hooked nose and flabby cheeks.
