Sequiturque nefas Aegyptia conjux (Virgil,
Aeneid, viii. 688.).
Yet this Egyptian wife was the daughter of a long line of kings.
Quid te mutavit (says Antony in a
private letter to Augustus) an quod reginam ineo? Uxor mea
est (Sueton. in August. c. 69.).
Yet I much question (for I cannot stay to inquire) whether the triumvir ever dared to celebrate his marriage either with Roman or Egyptian rites.
