Yes, Mark Antony and Cleopatra were “married”, but the word married should not be taken for the way we define marriage today. Marc and Cleo had a political marriage. It was a union of their political alliance rather than a physical marriage. Antony already had a Roman wife and he did not divorce her until four years after his “marriage” to Cleopatra.
