Was Julius Caesar legally married to both Livia and to Cleopatra,

I don't believe Julius Caesar was ever married to Cleopatra. His wife
at the time was Calpurnia. Perhaps you are referring to Marcus
Antonius who was married to the sister of Octavianus and who also
married Cleopatra?
If memory serves me well, the Romans didn't really appreciate this.
Octavianus certainly didn't.




But Julius did!


If you could point me to the source that discloses this info, I would be grateful.

I know he was involved with her, ofcourse, but a marriage? I didn't hear that before. I know Antonius did marry her.
