Marcus Antonius, more commonly known in English as Mark or Marc Antony. A powerful Roman politician and general and a staunch ally of Julius Caesar. Following Caesars death he was involved in a power struggle with Caesars successor Octavian (later to be called Augustus). Although married to Octavians sister he carried on an affair with the Egyptian queen Cleopatra who bore him 3 children. Eventually Mark Antony and Octavians mutual hostility erupted into Civil War and Antony fled to Egypt after his army was defeated at the Battle of Actium. Shortly thereafter the lovers committed suicide. Our figure of Mark Antony in Roman generals uniform and armour is based on the designs used in the 1963 epic "Cleopatra" starring Elizabeth Taylor with Richard Burton as Mark Antony.
