A Dismantled Mausoleum

I am one of those who believe there is no burial to be found for Cleopatra VII, Mark Antony, and, more than likely, Caesarion, whose mummies would have potentially been used by Octavian's enemies, including the Egyptian population, as objects of veneration to destabilize Octavian's hold on Egypt.

It may have been more politically sound to have cremated all three and to have thrown their ashes into the Mediterranean.

The article has a number of fine pictures.
