M. ANTONIUS,

Mark Anthony, a Trium-vir, the Grand-Son of Mark Anthony the Orator, and Brother of Lucius. He took Cae∣sar's part, when he was Tribune of the People, and Augur. He went into Gallia, and engag'd him in a Civil-War against Pompey and his Fol∣lowers. Attempting to possess himself of Mu∣tina, Brutus's Province; he was declar'd an Enemy to the Senate and People of Rome, by the perswasion of Cicero. He establish'd the Triumvirate of Octavius Caesar, Lampidius, and himself, which they all Three manag'd with much Cruelty. Caesar abandon'd Cicero to the Resentments of Anthony, who caus'd his Head to be cut off as he was carryed in his Litter, and set it up in the Rostrum where the Roman Orators us'd to plead. In the beginning of his Triumvirate he divorc'd his Wife Fulvia, to marry Octavia the Sister of Augustus; but he left her a little time after for Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, with whom he was extremely enamour'd, which so enrag'd Augustus, that he rais'd an Army against him, and defeated him at that famous Sea-fight near Actium. The year following he pursu'd him as far as Ale∣xandria, whither he fled; but seeing himself deserted by his Friends, he kill'd himself at the Age of 56 years.
