No, today Marc Antony is generally recognized for the fool he was, even though his good qualities are also recognized.

No, Marc Antony was one of Caesar's fervent supporters. Although they had their differences, Antony was one of the triumvirs who avenged Caesar's death.

The Egyptians were not mad at Cleopatra for "marrying" Mark Antony, in fact they were all for it. Mark Antony was very popular in Egypt. His popularity was one of the factors concerned in their sham marriage.

In way you could say that they were natural enemies. Antony was an older man, emotional and impulsive, while Octavian was eighteen years old, but cool, calculating and a natural politician with the patience to bide his time. They clashed from day one, when Octavian called on Antony to claim his inheritance. Their relationship became one of compromise, with each man trying to out maneuver the other even when they were supposed to be allies. Antony's actions in the east were the excuse for Octavian to declare war technically on Cleopatra, but everyone knew that in reality the war was on Antony.

After the death of Julius Caesar. Cleopatra had no Roman protector and she needed one. So she seduced Marc Antony into being her protector and ally. While they may have enjoyed the same extravagant lifestyles, and got along with each other as long as things were going right, there was no great passionate love affair that romantic writers would like us to believe. They were first and foremost political allies, friends second.

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.

Marc Antony committed suicide after receiving a false message that Cleopatra was dead.

Marc Antony lost influence in Rome because he refused to leave the east, Egypt and Cleopatra to come to Rome to defend himself against the charges that Octavian was claiming against him. Although even at the time of Actium, he had many supporters, they still needed his personal leadership rather than surrogates. Because of this prolonged absence much of his Roman support eroded away.

Marc Antony had at least 10 children. We don't know the names of the first two, but the others are: 3 daughters named Antonia (Romans always named their girls after the father's clan), 1 daughter named Cleopatra, and 4 sons named Iulius, Antylus , Alexander and Ptolemy.

This is one of history's mysteries. All the ancient writers say about this is that Antony received an erroneous message that Cleopatra was dead. Cleopatra herself either never sent the message or the message got misinterpreted. Something like, "Cleopatra is in her tomb", instead of "Cleopatra is hiding out in her tomb". Antony, hearing that she was in her tomb, would naturally assume that she were dead.

After being defeated by Octavian at Actium, Marc Antony and Cleopatra made their escape to Egypt where Antony fell into a fit of depression and Cleopatra tried to mislead her people into thinking they were victorious. She rounded up as many of her enemies as she could find and executed them. Antony came out of his sulk and tried unsuccessfully to raise another army. They sent envoys to Octavian with various proposals. They formed plans for escape to India.

In 43 BC the triumvirs had certain people proscribed. Cicero was one of them who Marc Antony refused to remove from the list, as they had a long standing feud. Although Antony did not personally kill him, Cicero was still a victim of the proscriptions, which Antony authorized.

Octavian was a master politician. By consolidating his own power in Italy, by using propaganda and by political moves, both clever and fortunate, he was able to get the upper hand and to defeat Antony. Antony did little to help himself. He refused to return to Rome an his actions with Cleopatra played right into Octavian's hands.

Marc Antony helped the Roman empire in a backhanded way. By losing to Octavian in the civil war he enabled Octavian to add Egypt and all its wealth to the Roman empire.

If you mean the Cleopatra movie with Elizabeth Taylor, it was Richard Burton.

Octavian and Antony were the two triumvirs who battled Brutus and Cassius in the final war against Caesar's killers.

CICERO!!

Marc Antony and Herod the Great were friends and allies. Herod had always been an ally of Rome and as Antony represented Rome in the East, Herod supplied Antony with supplies for his army, and even sent a rescue mission to Antony during one of his wars.
