Mark Antony by Paolo de Ruggiero Pdf

Mark Antony was embroiled in the tumultuous events of the mid-1st century BC, which saw the violent transformation from the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire. After being defeated by Augustus he has often been characterized by hostile historians as a loyal henchman of his uncle Julius Caesar but without the guile and vision to attain greatness in his own right (hence Shakespeare casts him as a 'plain, blunt man' whom Caesar's assassins don't think it worthwhile to kill). In his infamous alliance and love affair with Cleopatra of Egypt he is also often seen as duped and manipulated by a sharper mind. Despite this there is no doubt Antony was a capable soldier. He first saw action leading a cavalry unit in Judaea, before giving valuable service to Julius Caesar in Gaul. He again served with distinction and led Caesar's right wing at the climactic battle of Pharsalus, and he was decisive in the defeat of the conspirators at Philippi which ended 100 years of Civil wars. But Paolo de Ruggiero re-assesses this pivotal figure, analyses the arguments of his many detractors, and concludes that he was much more than a simple soldier, revealing a more complex and significant man, and a decisive agent of change with a precise political vision for the Roman world.

Mark Antony & Cleopatra by Martin Armstrong Pdf

This is an important documentation of history using ancient coinage, which reveals that Cleopatra’s motives established that she was a Greek and not black African, simply because Egypt was in North Africa, as was Carthage, Israel, and Syria. The true motives of Cleopatra and her manipulation of Mark Antony were to create a proxy war using the legions of Mark Antony to create a civil war in hopes of taking Rome in retribution for their conquest of the Greeks. In matters of war, truth is always the first causality, and everything from both sides is just propaganda. Cleopatra was not in some mad love affair with Antony. She also had an affair with Julius Caesar and before him with Pompey the Great’s son. The battle of Actium was the birth of Imperial Rome, and the omens that move Cleopatra to believe she would rise to the new dynasty with her children was her view of the prophecy, but the new dynasty was that of Octavian, Antony’s opponent who became Augustus – the first Emperor of Rome. Cleopatra was cunning, highly intelligent, and very manipulative. She was neither a black African nor some love-sick fool just following her heart. She funded Antony’s entire army, and the coinage she produced to pay the troops with the wealth of Egypt became 20% of the money supply of Rome even 100 years later. The coinage produced, known as Antony’s legionary denarii, were in themselves issued for propaganda purposes in times of war to impress Romans that Antony was well-funded and well-supported. This is a fascinating story that can ONLY be told from the coinage, and it opens a whole new chapter into the history of Mark Antony and Cleopatra.

Antony and Cleopatra by Adrian Goldsworthy,Dr Adrian Goldsworthy Ltd Pdf

The epic story of one of the most famous love affairs in history, by the bestselling author of Caesar. ***** The monumental love affair between Antony and Cleopatra has been depicted in countless novels, plays and films. As one of the three men in control of the Roman Empire, Antony was perhaps the most powerful man of his day. And Cleopatra, who had already been Julius Caesar's lover, was the beautiful queen of Egypt, Rome's most important province. The clash of cultures, the power politics, and the personal passion have proven irresistible to storytellers. But in the course of this storytelling dozens of myths have grown up. The popular image of Cleopatra in ancient Egyptian costume is a fallacy; she was actually Greek. Despite her local dominance in Egypt, her real power came from her ability to forge strong personal allegiances with the most important men in Rome. Likewise, Mark Antony was not the bluff soldier of legend, brought low by his love for an exotic woman - he was first and foremost a politician, and never allowed Cleopatra to dictate policy to him. In this history, based exclusively on ancient sources and archaeological evidence, Adrian Goldsworthy gives us the facts behind this famous couple and dispels many myths.

Mutina 43 BC by Nic Fields Pdf

In the aftermath of the murder of Gaius Julius Caesar, his self-declared successor Mark Antony struggled to hold together his legacy. Following an abortive coup attempt by Caesar's adopted son Octavian, two of Antony's legions declared for him, leading to a renewed outbreak of civil war. Antony moved into northern Italy and invaded the city of Mutina, which was held by Decimus Brutus. There they were quickly sandwiched between the city walls on one side and the newly arrived Senate-backed forces of Octavian on the other. These two heirs of Caesar then fought to claim their former mentor's legacy. Fully illustrated with specially commissioned artwork and maps, this is the full story of the battles which would see Octavian move from being a young, inexperienced aristocrat to the dominating figure of Augustus.
