Cicero wanted Rome to fight Antony because he said Antony was attacking a general of the Roman people.....I really don't know if that is right though, I got it out of a book. :P
No, Cleopatra was the lover of Julius Caesar and then of Mark Antony. When Octavian wanted war against Marc Antony, he declared was on his ally, Cleopatra, knowing that Marc Antony would fight to defend her.
Oh, dude, Octavian was probably just trying to keep it all in the family, you know? Like, "Hey, Antony, why not marry my sister and make our bond even stronger?" It's like a strategic move wrapped in a nice little family package. Plus, who wouldn't want to have a sister-in-law who's also your sister? It's like a two-for-one deal.
You need to specify which delegation you are referring to if you want to make it possible to answer you question. Rome sent hundreds of delegations in her 1,200 years of history.
There were seven social classes in ancient Rome. they were the patricians, plebeians, the equites, the proletariat, the freedmen, the slaves and foreigners. The last "class" the foreigners, were not Roman but many of them lived in the city and did not fit in with any Roman class.
Bescause so many men were getting married and then not wanting to fight in the war.
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.
When Mark Antony got to know that the conspirators killed Caesar, he was enraged because he was very close to Caesar. But there were other reasons for him wanting revenge besides Caesar's death. Cicero, a sympathizer with the conspirators, attacked him viciously and Cicero was also responsible for the death of Antony's stepfather.
Marc Antony.
Octavian did not necessarily want to kill Marc Antony. He wanted to wage war against him because the two men were locked into a fight over who would become the sole ruler of Rome and her territories. He did not want to be seen as wanting war with Marc Antony. Therefore, he declared war on Cleopatra VII of Egypt, Marc Antony's lover and ally, knowing that Antony would join the war to defend her.
Brutus spares Antony because he doesn't want to further inflame the populace, and thinks that Antony, as Caesar's friend, can make the citizens understand why Caesar was killed. However, he has underestimated Antony, who turns his speech from one of support for the assassins to one that sets Rome against them. Antony reinforces his position of power in Rome and Brutus must flee.

Cicero wanted to defend and preserve the constitution of the Roman Republic, its traditions and the freedoms he felt it guaranteed. He was also opposed to the popupares, a political faction which championed the cause of the poor and wanted reforms to help the poor. Cicero was a supporter of the aristocracy. Cicero was also a staunch upholder of morality. His writings on ethics were influential for centuries after the fall of the Roman Empire. He was also famous for his vitriolic attacks of a Governor of Sicily he prosecuted for corruption.
Cicero advocated for a return to the republican system of government in Rome, emphasizing the importance of the Senate and its role in providing stability and governance. He believed in balancing power among the elites and the Senate, rather than concentrating authority in the hands of a single ruler. Cicero was a proponent of a mixed government that combined elements of monarchy, aristocracy, and democracy, aiming to protect the Republic from tyranny and promote civic virtue.
Brutus is the one that is more democratic. After Caesar gets killed, when Brutus and Antony give the speech to the plebians or villagers, Antony want to make sure Brutus and Cassius get what they deserved for what they did. For Brutus, he wants the govt. to change, and to change Rome into a republic.
Cassius proposes the murder of Anthony, and brutus opposes it because he doesnt want it all to become too bloody. also, he doesnt want people to believe that they were killed out of anger and envy.
No, Cleopatra's last "husband" if you want to call him that, was the one who helped to bring her down and lose the country. Her last so-called husband was Marc Antony and by forming a political alliance with him, Cleopatra tried to fight Rome itself and she lost, big time.
They all want Antony to read Caesar's will.
