In short, her history involves her lover Mark Anthony. Their historical story of love and treachery, adultery and wars, adds a story to your chosen costumes, and their undying love and death together adds a mystic element to your night.

Her love story with Mark Antony is an excellent historical story, daring and tragic, and reading Shakespeare’s Anthony and Cleopatra play is a must for all literature lovers.
In the end, during a battle at sea between Mark Anthony and Octavian, Cleopatra had pledged her ships to Mark, but during the battle she flees and Mark Decides to flee also and follower her, leaving his men to a disastrous destruction.

To get back his love, she sends word to him that she is dead thinking he would rush back and finds her, but it back fires and he tries to kill himself but badly wounds himself with a sword, hears she is not dead, makes it back to her and dies in her arms.
