Anthony was set to marry Caesar's sister Octavia, but instead he
followed his heart and chose Cleopatra. After being defeated by
Ceasar, Anthony heard Cleopatra was dead, and let himself be fatally
wounded by Eros, but when the rumors proved to be false, he demanded
to be brought to Cleopatra's side, where he expired from his wound.
Cleopatra, now Caesar's prisoner, decided to join her lover in death,
so she called for her servants to bring her an asp; she and two of her
servants died from the snake's poisonous bite.
