Cleopatra x Marc Antony: Lovers in a Dangerous Time (Part 3‪)‬ Ancient History Fangirl

    • History

After four years of marriage with Octavia, Marc Antony followed Cleopatra to Alexandria—and settled into life there. He oversaw festivals and athletic contests, cheered Cleopatra on as she ruled Egypt, and showered her and their children with honors and territories.
For all intents and purposes, he was the consort of Egypt’s beloved Pharaoh, the father of her children—and he was home.
But the propaganda war between Antony and Octavian was building to a fever pitch in Rome, even as the Parthians loomed threateningly in the distance. Soon Antony would be called to war—and face the biggest battlefield test of his career.
