⚔️ On this day in 30 BCE: Mark Antony kills himself after hearing false reports that Cleopatra VII had been killed.
Marcus Antonius (l. 83-30 BCE, known popularly as Mark Antony) was a Roman general and statesman best known for his love affair with Cleopatra VII (l. c.69-30 BCE) of Egypt.
As Julius Caesar's friend and right-hand man, he gave the funeral oration after Caesar's assassination, which turned the tide of popular opinion against the assassins.
As part of the Second Triumvirate of Rome (43-33 BCE), he ruled uneasily with Octavian Caesar (l. 63 BCE-14 CE, later Augustus Caesar, r. 27 BCE-14 CE) and Marcus Aemilius Lepidus (l. 89-12 BCE), famously fell in love with Cleopatra VII of Egypt, and, after his defeat at the Battle of Actium (31 BCE), committed suicide in 30 BCE.
