Roman coin showing Cleopatra

OK- so she's got a hooky nose; it's a commanding face. I'm reminded of images of Catherine the Great.

 

As for Liz Taylor, I think she's swamped in her finery- like an over-promoted harem girl.



Of course, this is what Cleopatra really looked like....

I think our contemporary ideals of female beauty are pretty stupid.

Victoria Beckham for Heaven's sake!
