Best Answer

Marc Antony left Rome as a triumvir, ruling the eastern part of the empire. He had a love of the east and its culture and even lived for a time with his wife, Octavia, in Athens. But his most important reason for going east was to follow through on Caesar's plans for a war to conquer Parthia. By a victory over the Parthians he would, in addition, gain a victory over his rival, Octavian and be the top man in Rome, just as Julius Caesar was after his victories in Gaul.

After Antony's speech, everyone was so mad at them that it wasn't safe to stay there. See what happened to poor old Cinna the poet, who happened to have the same name as Cinna the conspirator.
