What did Marc Antony do for Cleopatra ?

what did marc antony ever do for cleopatra ??



Cleopatra was in a difficult position as Queen of Egypt.Firstly, she was a woman, and women were not seen as ideal rulers in the ancient world.More importantly, by the time she met Anthony, Rome had taken over the rest of the Mediterranean basin.Given the wealth of Egypt (it was the richest country in the world at the time), and the fact that Egypt supplied the majority of grain for Rome, it was inevitable that Egypt would become a target for Roman takeover sooner rather than later,and Cleopatra recognized Egypt was not strong enough to resist.


Cleopatra therefore seduced Mark Anthony to provide protection for her country, and to maintain its independence.He was Rome's leading military commander, and shared political power with Octavian. So, Mark Anthony supplied this military and political protection to Egypt, and, in addition, the potential, with Cleopatra's financial help, to become sole ruler of Rome, thus making Cleopatra empress of the Known World.Unfortunately for them, they were defeated by Octavian and both committed suicide.
