Julius Caesar

Julius Caesar was a great Roman leader. Cleopatra wanted him as an ally and wanted to meet with him. Her brother ordered to have her killed if she tried to get into the palace, so she rolled herself up in a rug and had one of her men carry the rug into the palace as a gift for Julius Caesar. Julius Caesar was surprised when the rug unrolled to reveal the queen. Julius Caesar, who was 52 years old, fell in love with Cleopatra, who was only 20 years old. He was charmed by her intelligence and personality.
