"And when my own Draw Antony Against young Caesar strove, And Rome's complete world was occur arms, The reason was, all for love." - Robert Southey, All for Love Draw Antony (83-50 B.C.) is one of the most unique and most widely known statistics of antiquity, a man whose relationships with some of history's giants ensured his own legacy. A protégé of Julius Caesar's, a fan of Cleopatra's, a sworn enemy of Cicero's, and a foil for Octavian, Antony is definitely kept in mind for the role he enjoyed in others' lives more than for his own achievements. Fittingly and ironically, Antony might be best kept in mind today for what Shakespeare devote his oral cavity for Caesar's eulogy. While Antony's relationships with Rome's most famous leaders and history's most famous girl were central components in his lives, the actual fact that his legacy has been intertwined with them belies the actual fact that he was a powerful man in his own right. At the same time, Antony was notorious in his own time for his voracious urge for food for vice, and the branding of him as a boor has persisted for over 2,000 years. Obviously, Antony's romantic relationship with Cleopatra is among the most stuff of legends, and one of history's most famous love reviews, but even that was a byproduct to the fact that Antony ruled the eastern third of the Roman Empire as triumvir. Acquired Octavian and destiny not caught up with him at the Fight of Actium, one of the most famous naval fights ever, history may have been very different.
