ANTONY-+Jenn+McCready

Mark Antony was born in Rome in the year 83 B.C. He was related on his mother's side to Julius Caesar. At Caesar's funeral Mark Antony was chosen to give the eulogy but was told by the conspirators who had assassinated Caesar not to blame them in his eulogy. Brutus and Cassius were defeated by Antony and Octavius at the Battle of Philipi in October 42 B.C. Like Julius Caesar before him, Mark Antony soon fell in love with Cleopatra- the queen of Egypt. Cleopatra attempted to gain control of the Roman Empire by marrying Mark Antony.
