No, Marc Antony did not take part in both triumvirates. The first triumvirate was composed of Caesar, Crassus and Pompey. The second triumvirate, of which he was a part, was composed of Lepidus, Antony and Octavian.
Octavian took power from Marc Antony because Antony divorced Octovia for Cleopatra and Octavian saw it as an insult. So Octavian set war on Antony but he escaped back to Egypt with Cleopatra. There the two committed suicide so they wouldn't be taken as prisoner by Octavian. Octavian then became Rome's sole rule.
No his ex-wife did, but it only led to disaster. Marc Antony originally ruled Rome as Caesar's Master of the Horse while Caesar was in the East going after Pompey. He had a problem with unrest and came down hard on the rioters, incurring the anger of Caesar. When things were patched up between the two of them, and Antony was counsul with Caesar, Caesar was killed and Antony was the sole authority in Rome.
No because Octavian told everyone she was a witch who seduced Marc Antony and was trying to take over Rome.... the lies...ugh

Octavian was a master politician. By consolidating his own power in Italy, by using propaganda and by political moves, both clever and fortunate, he was able to get the upper hand and to defeat Antony. Antony did little to help himself. He refused to return to Rome an his actions with Cleopatra played right into Octavian's hands.
Octavian did not take over the second triumvirate. However he did take advantage of his opportunities and usurped Lepidus, thereby gaining two thirds of the territory and authority. Antony was still a triumvir and had the authority in the east. Octavian did not have supreme power until he won the civil war with Antony. The underlying reason for Octavian's victory was his quest for power.Octavian did not take over the second triumvirate.

Ultimately, it was Octavian/Augustus.Immediately after Caesar's death, Marc Antony held the authority. That didn't last long however, and the senate tried to take over but again with little success. Finally the second triumvirate was formed and those three men held the authority until it fell apart and Octavian won out.Ultimately, it was Octavian/Augustus.Immediately after Caesar's death, Marc Antony held the authority.

He doesn't like him because he's a tool used by Caesar, bowing to his every whim. He wants to kill him at a point but Burtus explains that it's not in the party's best favor to look like butchers when all they want to do is take out Caesar.
Julius Caesar was never an emperor of Rome. He was a dictator, which was an appointed office under the republic. After his death, Rome was ruled by the second triumvirate and then Caesar's heir and grand-nephew, Octavian, became the first emperor of Rome. He was subsequently given the title Augustus.

It is not known. It was founded around 49 BC by Julius Caesar for his civil war against the forces of the senate. It then was integrated in the army of Mark Antony for his campaigns against the Parthians (Persians) in 40 BC, a campaign which did not take place because of conflict in Italy. It was part included in the army levied by Fulvia and Lucius Antonius (Antony's wife and brother) against Octavian, which surrendered at the Battle of Perusia, in 41 BC. After Marc Antony's suicide Antony's civil war, it was stationed in Syria.
Nowhere. Marc Antony was a "general" only in the sense that he led an army. He only had one victory in his entire career and that was at Philippi in the defeat of Brutus and Cassius. All of his other military campaigns were disasters. Oh yes, he did take credit for capturing the king of Armenia, but it is said that he did it not by a military victory, but by a deception.
Octavian was a master politician. By consolidating his own power in Italy, by using propaganda and by political moves, both clever and fortunate, he was able to get the upper hand and to defeat Antony. Antony did little to help himself. He refused to return to Rome an his actions with Cleopatra played right into Octavian's hands.
Octavian, Lepidus and Mark Antony formed a triumvirate to dispose of Caesar's assassins, and split the Roman Empire between them - Lepidus got North Africa, Antony the east, and Octavian western Europe. After the assassins were disposed of, here was a falling out - first Lepidus was eliminated, then Antony caused trouble, went to Egypt and it ended up in open warfare. If Antony went under, so would she who had taken sides with him.
