What they were and what they have become

Spiritualized through their love. The Roman's are depicted and there is no reason to deny it as very practical people. Yet Antony does very unRoman like things for his love and for love's sake and this is topped byt Cleopatra joining her great lover in one of the most operatic endings of Shakespeare, within a monument with a long slow demise for the last aria of love. This is immortalizing (as distinct from materializing)with a vengence!
