The Rise and Fall of Mark Antony Rome’s Tragic Li1

Описание: #history #dothingsyoudontwanttodo
He was Caesar’s right hand, Cleopatra’s legendary lover, and the last man standing between Rome and an empire. History remembers Mark Antony as a brute, a drunkard, and a man destroyed by passion. But what if there's more to his story?

This is the tale of Marcus Antonius—not just as a tragic figure, but as a political animal fighting to survive in the most dangerous labyrinth ever built: the fall of the Roman Republic. From the bloody aftermath of the Ides of March to the world-shaking alliance with Octavian, and finally to his fateful partnership with Cleopatra, we explore the calculated gambles and grand visions of the ruler who dared to imagine a different Rome.
