An Essay on Crimes and Punishments
Roman triumvir credited with a law, never repealed, that protected the wills and inheritances of those who died by suicide while innocent of crime.
on the contrary, in a law of Mark Antony, which was never repealed, we find it thus written:
Letters of Marcus Tullius Cicero
Roman general and member of the second triumvirate; Cicero's political enemy against whom he delivered the Philippics; responsible for Cicero's death.
The most important orations of the last months of his life were the fourteen “Philippics” delivered against Antony, and the price of this enmity he paid with his life.
and when finally the triumvirate of Antony, Octavius, and Lepidus was established, Cicero was included among the proscribed, and on December 7, 43 bc, he was killed by agents of Antony.
Stromata
Roman triumvir whose death in Alexandria at Augustus's hands is used as a dating point.
From this to the victory of Augustus, when Antony slew himself in Alexandria, two hundred and ninety-four years, when Augustus was consul for the fourth time.
The Rights of War and Peace
Roman triumvir referenced as the commander under whom the third legion earlier defeated the Parthians.
So in Tacitus, Antony the First serving under Vespasian, reminds the soldiers of the third legion of what they had done in former times, how under Mark Antony they had beaten the Parthians, and under Corbulo the Armenians.
Letters to Lucilius
Roman statesman and general whose character and career were ruined by drunkenness and his love for Cleopatra.
Mark Antony, a great man and of noble talent, what else ruined him and carried him over into foreign manners and un-Roman vices than drunkenness and his love of Cleopatra, no less than wine?
On Mercy
Roman triumvir and consul, colleague of the young Augustus in the proscriptions.
he could no longer bring himself to kill one man, he to whom Mark Antony had dictated the edict of proscription over dinner.
When he was at the age that you now are, having passed his eighteenth year, he had already hidden daggers in the bosoms of friends, had already aimed at the side of the consul Mark Antony by treachery, had already been a colleague in proscription.
