Page "Mark Antony" Paragraph 13

Conflict soon arose, and, as on other occasions, Antony resorted to violence.

Hundreds of citizens were killed and Rome itself descended into a state of anarchy.

Caesar was most displeased with the whole affair and removed Antony from all political responsibilities.

The two men did not see each other for two years.

The estrangement was not of long continuance, with Antony meeting the dictator at Narbo ( 45 BC ) and rejecting the suggestion of Trebonius that he should join in the conspiracy that was already afoot.

Reconciliation arrived in 44 BC, when Antony was chosen as partner for Caesar's fifth consulship.
