Letters "Concerning the Priapism of Queen #Cleopatra and its Remedies" attributed to Soranus, a Greek doctor practicing in Rome during the reigns of Trajan and Hadrian, picture him in correspondence with Marcus Antonius and Cleopatra. The chronology alone shows that these letters are "fanfiction", in which Marcus Antonius writes to Soranus to ask the doctor for help in managing Cleopatra’s lust. Soranus responds with a recipe for an aphrodisiac.
