What are mark Antony weakness?

Answer 1

Mark Antony was not perfect, however his weaknesses were serious enough to have him be defeated by Octavian and ultimately to commit suicide. Antony proved himself to be an able general, and by most historians accounts, more so than the younger Octavian. Another weakness was his misjudgement of Octavian, whom he first brushed off as a mere youth and no threat to his plans to be Caesar's heir. Anotherclear weakness was allowing his love affairs tointerfere with his politics. Antony's weakness for the love of Cleopatra, led him away from the support of many Romans. Antony relied on Cleopatra to not retreat from the Battle of Actium which she did. Yet he still forgave her.

Before the civil war between Antony and Octavian began in full earnest, Antony spent far too much time in Alexandria with Cleopatra. Too late did he realize that his time in Egypt, gave Octavian time to form his legions.

It was also well known, and used against him was his other sexual " cravings" that were present long before Cleopatra. His enemies in Rome were happy to advertise that Antony kept a harem of both men and women. This was not a "plus" for his public appearance.
