An avatar on an ancient silver coin with a history of more than 2,000 years shows that the historical Cleopatra's forehead is flat, the chin is protruding, the lips are thin, and the nose is like a witch. This is the image of a super beauty who is fascinated by all beings. Not right!

Ancient coins reveal the truth

This ancient silver coin, which has a history of more than 2,000 years, was discovered by archaeologists. It has been secretly preserved by the Newcastle Antiques Association in the past few decades, and few people know its existence. However, the Chevron Museum of Newcastle University in the United Kingdom recently exhibited this ancient coin to the public for the first time.

The side of the ancient coin is engraved with the head of Cleopatra Cleopatra, and the other side is engraved with the portrait of Cleopatra's Roman lover Mark Anthony, which truly reflects the Cleopatra in the eyes of contemporary people. And the image of her lover.

This ancient silver coin was made in 32 BC and is about the size of a British 5 pence coin. This silver coin may have been manufactured by Mark Anthony in the Mint, so the mints are obviously very familiar with Anthony and Cleopatra and will not cast their image too far.

Cleopatra is not "glamorous"

In history, the charm of Cleopatra not only conquered Caesar the Great, but also caused the Roman Republic's ruler Anthony to dump it. In people's minds, Cleopatra has always been a beautiful and beautiful image of a man. But the facts are still to be confirmed.

The ancient Romans once recorded that Cleopatra was clever, glamorous, and tempting, but never mentioned her beauty.

Lindsay Alason-Jones, head of the Archaeological Museum at Newcastle University, believes that Cleopatra is not a beauty at all, and that Cleopatra’s image as a stunning “slut” is Hollywood’s “masterpiece”. .

In 1963, Fox Company of the United States took a huge shot to film "Cleopatra" and re-interpreted Cleopatra's legendary life. If, as archaeologists say, the true Cleopatra is obviously far from the image of Cleopatra played by Elizabeth Taylor in the film. The film's Anthony's player Richard Burton is also much more handsome than Anthony himself.

In addition, the famous movie stars Sophia Loren and Vivien Leigh also played Cleopatra, and they all interpret her as a woman who looks like a fairy but her heart is vicious.

The Cleopatra lover Anthony on the back of the silver coin is not much better. I saw him with a pair of special protruding eyes, a hook nose and an incredible neck, and Richard Burton played in Hollywood movies. Anthony’s image is also “the difference”.

However, in view of the widespread acceptance of numismatic research findings by modern historians as the best basis for revealing the appearance of historical figures, archaeologists believe that this ancient silver coin is of great value in confirming the true appearance of the two.

Yan Yan was "romanticized"

Lindsay Ellison Jones, director of the Museum of Archaeology at Newcastle University, said: "This is so interesting. The Roman writer tells us that Cleopatra is a smart, charismatic woman who is attractive. The voice, however, the Roman writers rarely mentioned her beauty. Cleopatra is an image of a beautiful woman, apparently a concept recently created by Hollywood.

This silver coin completely shattered this myth. She may have tempted Caesar and Mark Anthony, but honestly she is not a big beauty. ”

Claire Pixgil, deputy director of the Archaeological Museum at Newcastle University, said: "Our popular opinion about Cleopatra is that she is a glamorous queen loved by many Roman politicians and generals, but in fact, Anthony and Kerry Opetra's relationship has long been romanticized by many writers, artists and film directors."

In fact, for many centuries, historians have been controversial about the beauty of Cleopatra. The famous Roman historian Cassius Dior wrote: "She is a woman with amazing beauty. She also has a fascinating voice, she knows how to make herself fascinated by everyone." But some historians, including Greek historians, biographers, and essayists, think that Cleopatra The beauty is just a myth.
