Explores Mark Antony's career and unfolding character against the background of one of the most turbulent half-centuries in Rome's history. He emerges as the most human of his contemporaries. Able as an administrator and a soldier, magnificient and magnanimous as a man, he was however his own worst enemy -- fallible and impetuous in his judgments and his attachments. His final self-destruction was perhaps inevitable. [Book jacket].
