Portrait of Cleopatra now in the Pergamon Museum, Berlin.
‘Her own beauty . . . was not of that incomparable kind which instantly captivates the beholder. But the charm of her presence was irresistible, and there was an attraction in her person and her talk, together with a peculiar force of character which . . . laid all who associated with her under its spell’. (Plutarch, Antony 27, trans. I Scott-Kilvert, in Plutarch, Makers of Rome: Nine Lives by Plutarch, Harmonsworth: Penguin, 1965.)
