Trivia: The Battle of Actium saw Cleopatra combine forces with what leader?
Masinissa
Mark Antony
Xerxes I
Nero
The correct answer is Mark Antony
So why is this answer correct? : In 36 BCE, Egyptian Pharaoh Cleopatra married Roman general Mark Antony to form one of history’s most famous power couples. However, they lasted only about five years together before the Battle of Actium in 31 BCE. Roman leader Octavian defeated the combined forces of Antony and Cleopatra at Actium, off the western coast of Greece, sending the couple fleeing back to Egypt, where they both died the following year.
