The love drama of Antony and [M]Cleopatra[/M], the relationship between the Egyptian queen and Caesar and [M]the mysterious circumstances of[/M] her [M]death[/M] have stimulated human imagination since ancient times and inspired numerous important writers, composers, painters and, since the 20th century, film producers.

Cleopatra VII Philopator (Greek: Κλεοπάτρα Φιλοπάτωρ; 69 BC – 10 August 30 BC) was Queen of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, and its last active ruler. A member of the Ptolemaic dynasty, she was a descendant of its founder Ptolemy I Soter, a Macedonian Greek general and companion of Alexander the Great. After the death of Cleopatra, Egypt became a province of the Roman Empire, marking the end of the second to last Hellenistic state and the age that had lasted since the reign of Alexander (336–323 BC). Her native language was Koine Greek, and she was the only Ptolemaic ruler to learn the Egyptian language.
In 58 BC, Cleopatra presumably accompanied her father, Ptolemy XII Auletes, during his exile to Rome after a revolt in Egypt (a Roman client state) allowing his daughter Berenice IV to claim the throne. Berenice was killed in 55 BC when Ptolemy returned to Egypt with Roman military assistance. When he died in 51 BC, the joint reign of Cleopatra and her brother Ptolemy XIII began, but a falling-out between them led to open civil war. After losing the 48 BC Battle of Pharsalus in Greece against his rival Julius Caesar (a Roman dictator and consul) in Caesar's Civil War, the Roman statesman Pompey fled to Egypt. Pompey had been a political ally of Ptolemy XII, but Ptolemy XIII, at the urging of his court eunuchs, had Pompey ambushed and killed before Caesar arrived and occupied Alexandria. Caesar then attempted to reconcile the rival Ptolemaic siblings, but Ptolemy's chief adviser, Potheinos, viewed Caesar's terms as favoring Cleopatra, so his forces besieged her and Caesar at the palace.

A member of the Ptolemaic dynasty, she was a descendant of its founder Ptolemy I Soter, a Macedonian Greek general and companion of Alexander the Great. After the death of Cleopatra, Egypt became a province of the Roman Empire, marking the end of the second to last Hellenistic state and the age that had lasted since the reign of Alexander (336–323 BC). Her native language was Koine Greek, and she was the only Ptolemaic ruler to learn the Egyptian language.
In 58 BC, Cleopatra presumably accompanied her father, Ptolemy XII Auletes, during his exile to Rome after a revolt in Egypt (a Roman client state) allowing his daughter Berenice IV to claim the throne. Berenice was killed in 55 BC when Ptolemy returned to Egypt with Roman military assistance. When he died in 51 BC, the joint reign of Cleopatra and her brother Ptolemy XIII began, but a falling-out between them led to open civil war. After losing the 48 BC Battle of Pharsalus in Greece against his rival Julius Caesar (a Roman dictator and consul) in Caesar's Civil War, the Roman statesman Pompey fled to Egypt. Pompey had been a political ally of Ptolemy XII, but Ptolemy XIII, at the urging of his court eunuchs, had Pompey ambushed and killed before Caesar arrived and occupied Alexandria. Caesar then attempted to reconcile the rival Ptolemaic siblings, but Ptolemy's chief adviser, Potheinos, viewed Caesar's terms as favoring Cleopatra, so his forces besieged her and Caesar at the palace.

Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus (in Latin: Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus; in the epigraphs: IMP CAES M AVREL ANTONINVS AVG; Rome, April 26, 121 - Sirmium or Vindobona, March 17, 180), better known simply as Marcus Aurelius, was a Roman emperor, philosopher and writer.
On the recommendation of the emperor Hadrian, it was adopted in 138 by the future father-in-law and acquired uncle Antonino Pio who appointed him heir to the imperial throne.
Born as Marco Annio Catilius Severus (Marcus Annius Catilius Severus), he became Marco Annio Vero (Marcus Annius Verus), which was the name of his father, at the time of his marriage with his cousin Faustina, daughter of Antoninus, and therefore assumed the name of Marcus Aurelius Caesar, son of the Augustus (Marcus Aurelius Caesar Augusti filius) during the empire of Antoninus himself.
Marcus Aurelius was emperor from 161 until his death, which occurred due to illness in 180 in Sirmium according to the contemporary Tertullian or near Vindobona. Until 169 he maintained the coregency of the empire together with Lucio Vero, his adoptive brother as well as his son-in-law, also adopted by Antonino Pio. From 177, when Lucio Vero died, he associated his son Commodus to the throne. He is considered by traditional historiography to be an enlightened ruler, the fifth of the so-called "good emperors" mentioned by Edward Gibbon. However, his reign was marred by war conflicts (Parthian and Marcomannic wars), famines and plagues.
Marcus Aurelius is also remembered as an important Stoic philosopher, author of the Conversations with himself (Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν in the original in Greek). Some later emperors used the name "Marcus Aurelius" to credit a non-existent family link with him.

Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus (in Latin: Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus; in the epigraphs: IMP CAES M AVREL ANTONINVS AVG; Rome, April 26, 121 - Sirmium or Vindobona, March 17, 180), better known simply as Marcus Aurelius, was a Roman emperor, philosopher and writer.
On the recommendation of the emperor Hadrian, it was adopted in 138 by the future father-in-law and acquired uncle Antonino Pio who appointed him heir to the imperial throne.
Born as Marco Annio Catilius Severus (Marcus Annius Catilius Severus), he became Marco Annio Vero (Marcus Annius Verus), which was the name of his father, at the time of his marriage with his cousin Faustina, daughter of Antoninus, and therefore assumed the name of Marcus Aurelius Caesar, son of the Augustus (Marcus Aurelius Caesar Augusti filius) during the empire of Antoninus himself.
Marcus Aurelius was emperor from 161 until his death, which occurred due to illness in 180 in Sirmium according to the contemporary Tertullian or near Vindobona. Until 169 he maintained the coregency of the empire together with Lucio Vero, his adoptive brother as well as his son-in-law, also adopted by Antonino Pio. From 177, when Lucio Vero died, he associated his son Commodus to the throne. He is considered by traditional historiography to be an enlightened ruler, the fifth of the so-called "good emperors" mentioned by Edward Gibbon. However, his reign was marred by war conflicts (Parthian and Marcomannic wars), famines and plagues.
Marcus Aurelius is also remembered as an important Stoic philosopher, author of the Conversations with himself (Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν in the original in Greek). Some later emperors used the name "Marcus Aurelius" to credit a non-existent family link with him.

Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus (in Latin: Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus; in the epigraphs: IMP CAES M AVREL ANTONINVS AVG; Rome, April 26, 121 - Sirmium or Vindobona, March 17, 180), better known simply as Marcus Aurelius, was a Roman emperor, philosopher and writer.
On the recommendation of the emperor Hadrian, it was adopted in 138 by the future father-in-law and acquired uncle Antonino Pio who appointed him heir to the imperial throne.
Born as Marco Annio Catilius Severus (Marcus Annius Catilius Severus), he became Marco Annio Vero (Marcus Annius Verus), which was the name of his father, at the time of his marriage with his cousin Faustina, daughter of Antoninus, and therefore assumed the name of Marcus Aurelius Caesar, son of the Augustus (Marcus Aurelius Caesar Augusti filius) during the empire of Antoninus himself.
Marcus Aurelius was emperor from 161 until his death, which occurred due to illness in 180 in Sirmium according to the contemporary Tertullian or near Vindobona. Until 169 he maintained the coregency of the empire together with Lucio Vero, his adoptive brother as well as his son-in-law, also adopted by Antonino Pio. From 177, when Lucio Vero died, he associated his son Commodus to the throne. He is considered by traditional historiography to be an enlightened ruler, the fifth of the so-called "good emperors" mentioned by Edward Gibbon. However, his reign was marred by war conflicts (Parthian and Marcomannic wars), famines and plagues.

But he never got to hear the good news.
That’s because when his acceptance email arrived in 2014, Abramovitz’s then-girlfriend, Jennifer Lee, deleted it and sent him a fake rejection email from the school. It was a $265,000 mistake.
“It was really devastating to feel that incredible betrayal,” Abramovitz told CNN. “It made me think of our whole relationship and it made me feel like everything might have been a lie.”
Where it began
A college sophomore studying music at McGill University at the time, Abramovitz had applied to a two-year, full-scholarship program to finish his bachelor’s degree at Colburn Conservatory of Music in Los Angeles. Itching to study with a renowned clarinet teacher, Abramovitz spent many late nights in practice rooms to prepare for his audition, which he thought went well.
The full scholarship – which includes tuition, room and board – is worth about $50,000 a year and Abramovitz said graduating from Colburn would have set him up for a high-paying symphony career. When he was rejected, Abramovitz said he was crushed.
“It was a disappointing feeling,” Abramovitz said.
