Re: Question - Julius Caesar
THe marriage between Cleopatra and Mark Antony according to roman law
at the time was not recognized(marrige between foreigners and roman
citizens were not considered valiad marriages) so he did not have to
divorce his wife Octavia(sister of Augustus). The upper class used
marriage and divorce as a way to seal political arangements between
families and break them. This did not happen very much in the lower
classes
