Best Answer

Yes and no. The relationship between Mark Antony and Cleopatra was a convoluted one, made so by pop historians who don't analyze, but take other people's word as fact. However today the thinking has changed and many historians believe that the "marriage" was symbolic -- a metaphor for the uniting of their political ambitions. There are several good reasons for this train of thinking, the most pressing one was that Antony was already married and didn't divorce his Roman wife until five years after his "marriage" to Cleopatra.
