Marc Antony

Marc Antony was the last husband of Cleopatra and one of the members of the second triumvirate after the death of Caesar. He started a civil war with Brutus and Cassius (the main conspirators who planned Caesar's assassination) for revenge, and won. He eventually went to war with Octavius, Caesar's nephew, who was another triumvirate, and committed suicide after Octavius's armies invaded the capitol of Egypt, Alexandria. Questions should include things relating to his death, his family, and his military successes and failures.

Marc Antony never conquered a single acre while in power. In fact, he only won one battle in his entire career. Yes, you can point to Armenia, which he "conquered" only by tricking and deceiving its king. For most of his military service he was a subordinate rather than a commander.

Marc Antony lost to Augustus in a battle for control of Rome and then went to Egypt to be with Cleopatra?

The Battle of Actium. The official story is that Marc Antony saw Cleopatra's ship leaving the battle, so he abandoned his ship and chased after her, eventually reuniting with her in Egypt. Without them, their fleet was easily polished off by the Roman fleet, and the last significant resistance to Rome was thereby finished. Rome would become an empire, and Augustus would have it all. There is modern speculation that Cleopatra and Marc Antony had previously intended to run rather than fight this battle.

How did Cleopatra and Marc Antony affect Roman life?

Asked by Wiki User

Marc Antony and Cleopatra were handy tools that Octavian used to gain power. They were portrayed as a seductress who turned an honorable Roman into a boy toy and a Roman who had lost his pride and honor. Antony played into Octavian's hands by not returning to Rome to defend himself and relying upon surrogates and letters to back his cause. After the Donations of Alexandria, and Antony's sham "triumph" in Alexandria, the Roman people were incensed and Octavian was able to have war declared.

Originally, Octavian simply came to Rome to collect his inheritance. Marc Antony, however, denied him not only his inheritance from Caesar but even denied him recognition. Octavian, put up with the insult, and several others until he had gained enough power and prestige to confront Antony.

What role did Cleopatra play in the downfall of Marc Antony?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Cleopatra was the prime cause of Marc Antony's downfall although she had a willing pupil. Cleopatra learned and lured. First she learned all about Antony from Delius, one of Antony's henchmen, and then used that knowledge to lure Antony into a life of decadence in Egypt. But remember, even though Cleopatra had the money, glamour and the glitz to seduce Antony, Antony still had to agree to their relationship. He could have said no, as Octavian did.
