Mark Antony

-83 – -30

Marcus Antonius, commonly known as Mark Antony, was a Roman general and politician who, alongside Octavian and Lepidus, formed the Second Triumvirate that overthrew Julius Caesar's assassins in 43 BC and dictated the political settlement that ended the Roman Republic. The proscriptions he enacted with Octavian killed thousands of senators and equestrians, including Cicero. After his subsequent break with Octavian and his alliance with Cleopatra of Egypt, he was defeated at the Battle of Actium in 31 BC and committed suicide in Alexandria the following year.
