Julius Caesar is assassinated the rebellion foiled and the Roman Empire is now ruled equally by three men of which Mark Antony is the most powerful. Stationed in the east Mark Antony summons Cleopatra the Queen of Egypt to demand submission but instead Antony is subdued by Cleopatra’s beauty wit and charm. Heart tied to Cleopatra Antony neglects wife and empire the man of war surrendering to a life of decadence seduction and the pleasures of Egypt. Torn between desire and duty will the eternity in their eyes and in their lips create a new global power or will Antony and Cleopatra’s passions lead to the fall of the empire?
