Just remember that in not so ancient days, an overweight woman was considered sexy. Don't apply our penthouse ideals to the ancients.

It was her bedroom skills, no doubt.

Oh she doesn't look so bad. Have you seen Elizabeth Taylor lately? I'd rather have the original for a Valentine date.

Cleopatra's allure was not due to her physical beauty, but a combination of her wealth, power, skills with make-up, ability to attune herself to a man's personality, and most probably bed room skills.

Standards of beauty change over time. Fat chicks used to be considered beautiful. In addition, beauty is comparative. She may have been one of the more beautiful of her day. Any picture I've seen of a woman from the 19th century looks hideous by today's standards. I tend to believe that each generation gets progressively more attractive.

(Oooof! She looked like Ed Koch)

Ah, crap, now I have to carry that thought around in my head all day. Ceasar being seduced by Ed Koch. Antony running away with Ed Koch. I need a drink...

Ancient coin contradicts legend of Cleopatra's beauty
(Oooof! She looked like Ed Koch)


Marc Antony must have had the "Banker Drysdale" (of the "Beverly
Hillbillies") attitude:

"Show me a person with a million dollars...and I'll show you
a beautiful person!"

For anyone who knows the process used to create coins in those days -- How likely is it that the person who created the picture for the coin had never actually seen Cleopatra?
