No, he didn't.
Antony committed suicide after his general told him that Cleopatra was dead, though she wasn't. So he couldn't get lead into the streets of Rome.

Since he was born on April 13, 1743, making him 264 years old, I would assume he would be too old to run.

But seriously, folks . . . I think he would be far too disgusted with the way this country is being run and its citizens treated that he would not want anything to do with politics. I hope I am wrong.

How do we remember Cleopatra today?

Also she could speak heaps of languages so was considered smart.

Why did Mark Antony commit suicide what happened to the three children fathered by Cleopatra and Mark Antony?

It was not uncommon for defeated generals to commit suicide. This would avoid the consequences of defeat, which could be harsh punishment or execution by the victors. It was also considered a gesture of honour. Cleopatra also committed suicide.

Octavian took the children of Marc Antony and Cleopatra VII, Alexander Helios and Cleopatra Selene II and Ptolemy Philadelphus to Rome. He paraded them during his triumphal celebrations in golden chains which were so heavy that they could not walk. This outraged the Roman crowd. As a result, Octavian got Octavia minor to adopt them. Octavia was Octavian's second elder sister and she had been father Mark Antony's wife.

Octavian had Caesarion, the son of Julius Caesar and Cleopatra, killed. Caesarion was possibly the only son of Caesar. Since Octavian based the legitimacy for his bid to power of being the adoptive son of Caesar and his heir, Caesarion was a potential rival to get rid of.

Why did rome take over Egypt after cleopatras death?

Roman policy was always to absorb conquered territory into its empire, which expanded as a result. There were benefits for both Egypt and Rome in this take-over: Rome would expect regular tribute in the form of grain (which Egypt could supply in huge quantities) while Egypt would be secure against enemies and protected by Roman garrisons.

By 68 AD there were two entire legions based at Alexandria: the III Cyrenaica and XXII Deiotariana. They would have been accompanied by an equal number of auxiliary troops, both infantry and cavalry. A third legion was absent, helping to put down the Jewish revolt.

It was also Roman policy to allow life in conquered countries to continue as it had before (providing there was no trouble). This permitted priests to continue using hieroglyphs and the Egyptian religion to continue, but Latin would have gradually become an important language in the region.
