Marc Antony killed himself. He committed suicide as it was an honorable way for a Roman to die. Octavian was the one who conquered Egypt and made it part of the Roman Empire.

What is Mark Antony's favorite color?

Oh, what a delightful question! Now, Mark Antony lived a long time ago, so we can't ask him directly. But I like to think that he might have enjoyed the deep, regal hues of royal purple or the warm, comforting tones of earthy browns. It's all about finding the colors that bring you joy and make your heart sing, just like Mark Antony would have done in his time.


When did Mark Antony become emperor?

Mark Antony never became emperor, as we use the term today. The title "imperator" originally was an honor bestowed on military commanders by the legions after great victories. Many Roman generals were declared imperator by troops, including Mark Antony who ruled as a member of a triumvirate that included Octavian (Ceasar's adopted son and heir) but they had a falling out and later led opposing factions in a civil war. Antony committed suicide after his defeat by Octavian, who cooped the name imperator (from which our emperor derives) as a substitute for king which had negative connotations for the Roman people. Roman dictators served for a set period of years and the office was not hereditary; thus, that office did not suite the purposes of Octavian (later known as Augustus). He had the Roman senate declare him emperor with all the powers of a king, eventually including the hereditary right to pass on his office to his chosen heir. Antony never held sole power equivalent to a king as did Augustus.
