Mark Antony's actions can be viewed as traitorous to Rome, particularly due to his alliance with Cleopatra and his challenge to the authority of Octavian. His support for a foreign queen and his military campaigns in the East were seen as undermining Roman interests. Ultimately, his defeat at the Battle of Actium and subsequent suicide marked the end of his political influence and solidified Octavian's rise, leading to the establishment of the Roman Empire. Thus, while some may argue he acted in the interest of Rome, his choices contributed to its political turmoil.

Octavian took several decisive steps to end his alliance with Mark Antony, primarily by publicly challenging Antony's decisions and actions. He leveraged propaganda to portray Antony as a traitor to Rome, particularly through his association with Cleopatra. Octavian also sought to undermine Antony's support by appealing to the Roman Senate and the populace, ultimately leading to a formal declaration of war against him in 32 BCE. This culminated in the decisive Battle of Actium in 31 BCE, which solidified Octavian's power and ended their alliance.

His opinion on Marc Antony is that Antony is just the limb of Caesar. There is no point in killing him either. Antony is a friend of Brutus and he seems loyal but then Brutus will soon find out that Antony is a traitor to him and but of course despises him.

During Caesar's funeral, Antony refers to Brutus as an honorable man. This is said sarcastically as Brutus was a traitor to Caesar.
Marc Antony and Herod the Great were friends and allies. Herod had always been an ally of Rome and as Antony represented Rome in the East, Herod supplied Antony with supplies for his army, and even sent a rescue mission to Antony during one of his wars.

30 BC
war
Most of Rome turned against Antony and Cleopatra due to the propaganda war that was being waged between Antony and Octavian. Antony's actions and his conduct caused many to turn against him. His refusal to return to Rome and his treatment of Octavia, his wife, (and Octavian's sister) also added to the resentment of many Romans. They blamed Cleopatra for Antony's debauchery.
