According to my fiance and the internet, Cleopatra (the VII) often bathed in milk as a means to soften her skin/exfoliate/etc. I've searched high and low for a reference to this assertion but could find nothing -- not surprisingly. But I've missed things in the past and have been wrong many times before.
Does anyone know of any reference to Cleopatra bathing in milk from any ancient source? Aside from Pliny talking about the virtues of milk, etc; I'm looking for a direct connection. Thank you very much in advance!
