Caesar's Love Life

Caesar was an attractive man, and even as he went bald, he covered it up with his other hair and his crown of laurels. Caesar loved Cornelia, his wife, and wept when she died. She left behind Caesar's only and legitimate child. Caesar had many mistresses, though, including Cleopatra VII, who had Caesarion with him. Eventually, Caesarion was murdered by Caesar's adopted son, Octavian. Caesar's favorite mistress seemed to be the mother of his eventual assassin Marcus Brutus, Servilia. Caesar's second wife was Pompey's relative, Pompeia, and his third wife Calpurnia. Caesar remained married to Calpurnia till his death.
