Uncommon card · No. 79235

The former Roman triumvir Mark Antony and Egyptian queen Cleopatra VII were buried together after their deaths in 30 BC; their tomb has not been discovered, and is assumed to be located in Alexandria, Egypt. According to historians Suetonius and Plutarch, the Roman leader Octavian permitted their burial together after he had defeated them. Their surviving children were taken to Rome, to be raised as Roman citizens. The Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities theorizes that it is within or near a temple of Taposiris Magna, southwest of Alexandria.
