* 83 BC – Marcus Antonius, Roman politician ( d. 30 BC )

Marcus Antonius, commonly known in English as Mark Antony ( Latin: ) ( January 14, 83 BC – August 1, 30 BC ), was a Roman politician and general.

He was the homonymous and thus presumably the eldest son of Marcus Antonius Creticus ( praetor 74 BC, proconsul 73 – 71 BC ) and grandson of the noted orator Marcus Antonius ( consul 99 BC, censor 97 – 6 BC ) who had been murdered during the Marian Terror of the winter of 87 – 6 BC.

But his elder son, Marcus Antonius Antyllus, was killed by Octavian's men while pleading for his life in the Caesareum.

Agrippina was born as the second daughter and fourth child to Roman statesman and Augustus ’ ally Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa and Julia the Elder.

The terms of resignation had actually been agreed upon with Marcus Antonius Primus, the commander of the sixth legion serving in Pannonia and one of Vespasian ’ s chief supporters, but the praetorians refused to allow him to carry out the agreement, and forced him to return to the palace, when he was on his way to deposit the insignia of empire in the Temple of Concord.

For his involvement, Catiline was accused of killing his former brother-in-law Marcus Marius Gratidianus, carrying this man ’ s severed head through the streets of Rome and then having Sulla add him to the proscription to make it legal.

Due to his devotion to her, Messalina was able to manipulate Claudius into ordering the exile or execution of various people: the Roman philosopher Seneca the Younger ; Claudius ’ nieces Julia Livilla and Julia ; Marcus Vinicius ( husband of Julia Livilla ); consul Gaius Asinius Pollio II ( see Vipsania Agrippina ); the elder Poppaea Sabina ( mother of Empress Poppaea Sabina, second wife of Nero ); consul Decimus Valerius Asiaticus ; and Polybius.

This surprise assault had complete success: Octavian ’ s troops were put to flight and pursued up to their camp, which was captured by Brutus ’ s men, led by Marcus Valerius Messalla Corvinus.

Many other young Roman aristocrats lost their lives in the battle or committed suicide after the defeat, including the son of great orator Hortensius, and Marcus Porcius Cato ( the son of Cato the younger ), and Marcus Livius Drusus Claudianus ( the father of Livia, who became Octavian ’ s wife ).
