The back of the temple has an
illustration of Cleopatra and her son
Caesarion, her son with Caesar. It has
become quite famous, both because it is one
of few illustrations we have of a woman
whose charm and intelligence made her
unusually powerful and famous for all times.
But was she beautiful? The image on the rear
end of the temple shows a woman of quite
ordinary features.
