    The Cleopatrator is believed to be the possible site of the first meeting between Egyptian Queen Cleopatra and Roman general Mark Antony in 41 BC.

    Other sources locate this meeting either at the "port gate" in today's Musalla district or report a meeting point on a ship in the sea in front of the city.

    Mark Antony's and Cleopatra's meeting in Tarsus was not initially based on amorous reasons - rather it was the fear of losing power. Because at that time Cleopatra's dominion was occupied by other powers and she asked Antony for help.
