Whom did Cicero want Romans to give power to?

Marc Antony.


Why did Cicero wanted to give Mark Antony power?

Cicero never wanted to give Marc Antony anything least of all power. They were bitter enemies. Cicero executed Antony's stepfather without a trial and later gave a series of scathing speeches against Antony called the Philippics. Also, it was well known that Antony was a close ally of Caesar. When Caesar was assassinated in the Senate, by luck, Brutus did not include Antony on the Senate's death list. That was why Antony insisted that Cicero be included in the proscriptions that the triumvirate ordered and had his head and his hands nailed to the rostra in the forum.

Whom did Marc Antony assassinate in 43 BC?

Cicero was killed by Herennius (a centurion) and Popilius (a tribune).

Who ruled Rome after Julius Caesar?

The answer is Augustus. After his assassination in 44 BC, the Senate tried to reestablish the Republic, but its champions, Marcus Junius Brutus (descendant of the founder of the republic) and Gaius Cassius Longinus were defeated by Caesar's lieutenant Mark Antony and Caesar's nephew, Octavian. The years 44-31 mark the struggle for power between Marc Anthony and Octavian (later known as Augustus). Finally, in September 2nd, 31 BC, in the Greek promontory of Actium, the final battle took place in the sea. Octavian was victorious, and became the sole ruler of Rome (and its empire). That date marks the end of the Republic and the beginning of the Principate. Cristina Rizzi Answer found on Wikipedia guys!

Yes. Marc Antony was an educated Roman and spoke in Greek as all educated men (and women) did. However, in Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar, Casca reports that during the Lupercal festival, Cicero (not Antony) gave a lengthy speech in Greek. "For my part," says Casca, "it was Greek to me".
