In the restored scene where Queen Cleopatra VII (Dame Elizabeth Taylor) and Julius Caesar (Sir Rex Harrison) visit Alexander the Great's tomb, the backdrop is the famous image of Alexander's battle with Darius of Persia. It is best known as a large floor mosaic discovered in the ruins of Pompeii and is said to be based on a third century B.C. Hellenistic painting. There is no evidence the image was ever located in Alexandria, though it did exist before the time in which this movie is set, and so is historically reasonable.
