Marc Antony, they were fleeing Octavian's forces. Once in Egypt, they both committed suicide.
Cicero was a firm republican. Marc Antony was a populist. They were bitter enemies. There was no way that Cicero would consider giving Marc Antony any power whatsoever.
Cleopatra was the prime cause of Marc Antony's downfall although she had a willing pupil. Cleopatra learned and lured. First she learned all about Antony from Delius, one of Antony's henchmen, and then used that knowledge to lure Antony into a life of decadence in Egypt. But remember, even though Cleopatra had the money, glamour and the glitz to seduce Antony, Antony still had to agree to their relationship. He could have said no, as Octavian did.
Cleopatra was not so much important to Rome as she was to Octavian. She was the tool that Octavian was able to use against Antony and to wage the war against him. By accusing Cleopatra of corrupting Antony, Octavian was able to get the senate to declare war against her. In reality this war was against Antony for sole rule, but Octavian had to avoid all semblance of a civil war and Cleopatra and her conduct with Antony was the perfect opportunity for him.
Marc Antony.
:) Mark Antony (:
There was no formal name for the war between Antony and Octavian. It is just known as a civil war to historians. To the Romans at the time, though, it was a war against Cleopatra for corrupting Antony and taking Roman territory. Octavian, making the most of Antony's misconduct in the east, was able to convince the senate to declare war on Cleopatra as the cause of the trouble.There was no formal name for the war between Antony and Octavian.

He had stepped out of the Senate for a smoke break.
