Historical background


MARK ANTONY AND JULIUS CAESAR

(43 BC)

Antoine, born in 83 BC, is a loyal supporter of Caesar. He served under his orders in Gaul, was among his lieutenants during the civil war (49-45 BC) and held his first consulship with him (44 BC). Upon his death, Antoine receives an "Imperium maius" for the Gauls (Cisalpine and Transalpine). After the siege of Mutina and the murder of the two consuls (Pansa and Hirtius), he formed the second triumvirate with Octave and Lepidus and favored the proscriptions (death of Cicero) (43 BC). He had Caesar deified in 42 BC and participated in the battle of Philippi, where Cassius and Brutus were killed..
