Mark Antony was a Roman statesman and general. After Caesar defeated Pompey, Antony became Caesar’s second in command, and Caesar appointed him as Consul of Rome. On Caesar’s death, Antony joined with Caesar’s nephew Octavian to defeat the conspirators who had murdered Caesar. Later however, Octavian became his enemy when Antony married Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt. Octavian sent a fleet that destroyed the navy of Antony and Cleopatra, and Antony committed suicide.
