Letters "Concerning the Priapism of Queen #Cleopatra and its Remedies" attributed to Soranus, a Greek doctor practicing in Rome during the reigns of Trajan and Hadrian, picture him in correspondence with Marcus Antonius and Cleopatra. The chronology alone shows that these letters are "fanfiction", in which Marcus Antonius writes to Soranus to ask the doctor for help in managing Cleopatra’s lust. Soranus responds with a recipe for an aphrodisiac.

Kleopatra is so often portrayed as this incredibly sexy seductress, when in actuality Marcus Antonius was ancient Rome's super slut supreme, a man with the tendency to wear extremely short tunics to show off his sexy legs a̶n̶d̶ ̶a̶l̶s̶o̶ ̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶d̶i̶c̶k
