Marc Antony

Marc Antony was the last husband of Cleopatra and one of the members of the second triumvirate after the death of Caesar. He started a civil war with Brutus and Cassius (the main conspirators who planned Caesar's assassination) for revenge, and won. He eventually went to war with Octavius, Caesar's nephew, who was another triumvirate, and committed suicide after Octavius's armies invaded the capitol of Egypt, Alexandria. Questions should include things relating to his death, his family, and his military successes and failures.

Why did Octavian declare war on Marc Antony and Cleopatra?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Several reasons led up to the war between Octavian and Antony and Cleopatra, but the main reason was power. Both men were in a power struggle for supremacy in Rome. Antony, by openly entering into a political alliance with Cleopatra played right into Octavian's hands. Cleopatra herself, by seducing Antony, set herself up as a tool for Octavian to use in discrediting Antony. The power struggle continued and culminated in Octavian's victory at Actium.

Why did Cleopatra and Marc Antony commit suicide?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Antony committed suicide out of a sense of honor. He had been defeated and the honorable thing for a Roman military man to do in defeat was to kill himself. He had also been lied to regarding Cleopatra's death, but this more than likely only sped up his suicide, as he would probably have killed himself when Octavian entered the city anyhow. Cleopatra committed suicide because she was a very proud woman and simply could not stand the certainty of being exhibited and paraded in Octavian's triumph in Rome.
