MARK ANTONY
82 (?) - 30 BC
Mark was a brave man, a general under
Julius Caesar.
He was a member of the
Second Triumvirate together with
Lepidus and
Octavian.
But heart got in the way of common sense
and Mark was spellbound by legendary
Queen Cleopatra.
When Octavian defeated him at the naval
Battle of Actium in 31 BC, he took off to Egypt with
Cleopatra. Mark decided to end it all and
killed himself in Alexandria, Egypt.
Actually, Mark Antony and Cleopatra kill
themselves. Together. The year: 30 BC.
Egypt becomes a Roman province, and
Octavianus Caesar is left undisputed master of Rome, and all that is
Rome's.
