What does Brutus say about killing Marc Antony?
It is unnecessary He doesnt want to kill Marc Antony because he doesnt want it to seem as if these conspirators wanted to just kill these political leaders. Brutus believed that it was only necessary to kill Caesar. The reason for that is Brutus thought Rome should remain a republic.
Was Cleopatra in love with Marc Antony?
Hardly. Cleopatra seduced Antony for the selfish purpose of keeping her throne and continuing her dynasty. This is not to say that she didn't like him or have good times with him, but throughout their entire relationship there was an undercurrent of greed and manipulation on Cleopatra's part.
Why did Cleopatra tell Marc Antony that she was dead?
This is one of history's mysteries. All the ancient writers say about this is that Antony received an erroneous message that Cleopatra was dead. Cleopatra herself either never sent the message or the message got misinterpreted. Something like, "Cleopatra is in her tomb", instead of "Cleopatra is hiding out in her tomb". Antony, hearing that she was in her tomb, would naturally assume that she were dead.
Did Antony defeat octavian at the battle of actium in 31 bce?
No, it's the other way around. Octavian whipped Antony in the battle of Actium. Or perhaps it would be better so say that Marcus Agrippa whipped Antony in the Battle of Actium, as he was Octavians general and military strategist.
Why did Antony think that Cleopatra died?
You have to remember the scene in Alexandria at the time. Cleo and Antony were defeated, Octavian was about to enter the city. There were going to be consequences for both Antony and Cleopatra. Cleopatra went into hiding. Some think that Cleo deliberately caused a message to be sent to Antony saying that she was dead, and with that certainty, she knew Antony would commit suicide. That way she could try to pin all the blame for the war on Antony. (which according to Plutarch, she tried) Others think it was a matter of miscommunication. All the ancient writers say is that Antony received a message saying that Cleopatra was dead. They don't say if this message was written or oral. If it were an oral message, which would make sense, as the city was in turmoil and a written message could be easily confiscated by the Romans who were looking for Cleopatra, it could very easily have been garbled. As Cleopatra wanted Antony to know where she was hiding, her messenger could very easily have said "Cleopatra is in her tomb" instead of "Cleopatra is hiding out in her tomb". Therefore Antony thinks that Cleo is dead. This makes the most sense.
