Is the story about Cleopatra self in a carpet true?

Answer 1

We can't say for certain if Cleopatra had herself wrapped in a carpet to gain access to Caesar. Some sources say she was wrapped in a carpet, others say she was in a large jug, and yet others say she was in a laundry sack. However, the story is so widespread, that she must have wrapped herself in something to get to Caesar.

Answer 2

There is no historical evidence to support the theory that Cleopatra smuggled herself into Julius Caesar's palace in a rug or carpet to seduce him. This is likely a romanticized myth that has been perpetuated over time.
