    Interesting story, but, but, but... *sigh*

    AP - Wed Feb 14, 7:47 AM ET This is an image issued by the University of Newcastle on Wednesday Feb. 14, 2007, shows a roman coin with an image of Emperor[!!!] Mark Antony.

    In the main story the same erroneous "history" continues: Cleopatra, who also had an affair with legendary Roman emperor[!!!] Julius Caesar...

    ... image of issued by the University of Newcastle on Wednesday Feb. 14, 2007, shows a 2000 year silver coin with an image of the Egyptian Queen Cleopatra. So maybe Mark Antony loved Cleopatra for her mind. That is the conclusion drawn by academics at the University of Newcastle from a Roman denarius which depicts the celebrated queen of Egypt as a sharp-nosed, thin-lipped woman with a protruding chin. In short, a fair match for the hook-nosed, thick-necked Mark Antony on the obverse. (AP Photo/Newcastle University)
