"Caesar and Cleopatra" was the play by George Bernard Shaw. It is great drama, but not completely historical. Shaw used the characters and the history of the relationship of Julius Caesar and Cleopatra as the source of the conflict and drama.
Caesar and Cleopatra is a 1901 play by George Bernard Shaw. It was first published as part of his 1901 collection Three Plays for Puritans (together with Captain Brassbound's Conversion and The Devil's Disciple).
The play has two layers. The first one deals with the fact that Shaw wanted to prove that it wasn't love but politics that drew Cleopatra to Julius Caesar. In his play, Shaw stresses the relations between the Roman and Egyptian conquerors. In contrast to what probably happened historically, Cleopatra successfully arranges for the murder of the eunuch Pothinus after he humiliates her in front of Caesar.

The famous scene in which Cleopatra is secretly brought inside a rolled carpet into Caesar's presence was credited by Otto Skorzeny as the inspiration for his doing the same to his kidnapping victim Miklós Horthy, Jr. in 1944 during Operation Panzerfaust

Mark Anthony. Ceaser was more of a political relationship. Having a son of Ceaser meant an heir to the Roman Empire and more power to Egypt. Mark Anthony spent many days in egypt living with Cleopatra. She eventually committed suicide next to Mark Anthony after she learned of his death depending on the version of the story you hear.
