"I'm not saying there was foul play... I'm just saying Anthony definitively murdered his wife."
I busted out laughing!! 🤣🤣🤣
HE BELONGS IN JAIL lmao
…if by “murder” you mean “allow her to kill herself”.
So just politics then. 😉
All the other Romans just divorced their political wives as soon as a better alliance came up, but Antony didn't want to deal with the paperwork I guess.
I swear Antony's story is just everyone around him succeeding at what he wanted to do
My two favourite TH-camrs at one place.
"everyone around him succeeding at what he wanted to do"
Up until the point where Antony was able to finally snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
@@DerbyPorcelain He might have gotten Crassused if he had just marched into the open plains of Mesopotamia. Antony's plan for his Invasion of Partia was pretty good except for his long supply lines(and his inability to protect them)
@@DerbyPorcelain though to be fair, whether Ventidius could’ve conducted a campaign into Parthia with his relatively few legions is unlikely. Staying in Syria was probably the best option
I feel kind of bad for Antony. He's in way over his head. Everybody knew he was an idiot except himself.
*The Son of Labienus led the Parthian Army*
Wait hold up, you can’t just drop that lore outta no where.
In Philippi episode he foreshadowed that and told us that Labienus jr. was sent east to negotiate Parthian support for Liberators ;) i wish we knew more about it, but as HC said, sources are pretty poor for this war
Oh my God. Go Labienus Jr
Yeah what the hell. A roman suddenly commanding foreign forces against rome?
God I wish there was more information on this.
He had made an alliance with the Parthians in order to revive the Pompeian cause. He was originally there either because he had fled to Parthia or because he was sent there by Brutus and Cassius to obtain reinforcements for Philippi.
Ventidius reportedly didn't pursue the Parthians further because he was concerned that he'd incur Antony's jealousy if he did so. I like to imagine Ventidius was the ultimate straight-man in all this dramatic high Roman politics, he saw how nuts all these major players were and dipped to the countryside rather than get dragged in to it all.
Yep, never outshine the master... Unless you can successfully kill the master and take his place. The dude took his W, cashed in his chips, and retired to his land/family/slaves/money. Arguably the smartest guy in Rome considering the climate of the empire at the time.
Or they low-key killed him to avoid a competent general falling to the other side. I'd argue the latter.
"yikes, I think I'll just get back to my family's farms..."
Ventidius, 1st century BC
Brilliant man. Got his triumph, got recorded positively in the history books, and died peacefully. Definitely inspired by Caesar.
Even more Labienus than Labienus’ own son
A win is a win, peace out yo - Ventidius, probably
Antony said his wife aggravated her own illness, and we know Antony is an honorable man.
this is emphasized by his outstanding performance as a Consel of Rome in Caesar's stead while he was off in Egypt
Just like we knew Brutus was an honourable man
All honourable men.
@@Boboa48 It's a line from Shakespeare's play on Caesar, bro. After Caesar's death, Antony used this line in his speech to indirectly call out his murderers for justifying themselves. It's a pretty powerful moment.
@@Boboa48 r/woosh
Cant wait to listen to this 15 times over the next week to get repeatedly angry at Antony's failures.
?
totally ready for the next square to be mad at
I'm torn between being more angry at Antony vs Octavian. On one hand, Antony was vain and threw an allied kingdom under the bus for a strategic miscalculation on Antony's part, but on the other, Octavian violated their agreement and denied Antony the chance to reorganize the Roman West.

Hello
HAHA thats soo good, hilarious mann
Oh, good one
Cool fact: Cleopatra Selene, Cleopatra's and Antony's daughter have married king Juba the second of Numidia, and their pyramid shaped shrine still stands today in Algeria, not far from the capital Algiers. And is locally known as the "Tomb of the roman lady".
Wow that’s actually pretty cool
that is indeed a cool fact, and it led me into a half hour wikipedia binge, reading about her and Juba II, their son Ptolemy, and trying to figure out if the bloodline ended there or maybe continued through either their daughter Drusilla or their grand-daughter, also Drusilla :D

@@DylanDkoh 4:07
This is ark is definitely more interesting than the Pompey/Caesar dynamic. Anthony being a thick headed narcissist and Octavian being a nerdy sociopath makes for more insane twists and turns than two competent generals actually duking it out.
It's more chaotic that's for sure. The Pompey/Caesar stuff had this air of professionalism to it, whereas the Second Triumvirate just feels like absolute power in absolutely the wrong hands.
Depends on what kind of story you like. History is full of em.
Truth!
@@Clementine_D Good characters make good stories
Tbh I like caesar vs pompey more
Arguably, getting out of Parthia with only 50% of your army starving to death in the cold represents real progress compared to the previous campaign!
Never give up on your dreams!
Maybe next time we'll only lose 25%.
@@alanpennie8013 by the 4th time after definitely losing the 3rd time, who knows whats possible, actually winning? Crazy stuff
Around 2000 years later and we still get to dunk on Antony. Cicero would be proud.
You mean the Crassius blunder... that one is brutal
Fun fact Ventidius is one of those examples of a subordinate being objectively more competent than their superior. After Ventidius had turned back the Parthians he laid siege to Antiochus of Commagene. One of the local Roman leaders who had turned coat and sided with the Parthians. By the time Mark Antony had arrived in Asia Minor, Antiochus was attempting to sue for peace with Ventidius and was offering 1000 talents of silver in order to lift the the siege. However, craving a bit of glory for his own, Antony turned down the offer and took over the siege from Ventidius. As soon as command of the siege changed hands it almost immediately took a turn for the worse. Antony absolutely bungled the whole affair and ended up suing for peace anyways. However, This time Antony only received 300 talents of silver, instead of the 1000 that Ventidius had managed to negotiate previously.

unironically, even considering the minimalist style, the graphics and animation on these videos only continues to get better and better. the camera movement is so smooth and the tiny little animation details, like on Cleopatra's ship, are amazing
Ventidius accidentally on purpose won the campaign in like 3 moves while Antony was trying to put together an army to face them💀
"Why are you back here, did they break through?"
"Who?"
"The Parthians!!"
"Ah those mucks. Dead"
"Hmm, how should I illustrate that Antony has fallen to drinking and is near-constantly inebriated? ...Oh I know I'll make the whole army spin!"

Yes. Unfortunately the details are lost to history. We know (and he did mention this in a previous video) that Labienus was sent to Parthia to gather reinforcements. However, what happened in the years after that is a mystery.
@@renerpho
It's not that much of a mystery.
Quintus was aligned with The Liberators and was exploiting Antony's incompetent government of The East to revive their cause.
The Parthians supported him because it was pretty evident that Antony would invade Parthia if left alone.
One weird detail supplied by Dio is that Quintus adopted the ironic title Parthicus (conquerer of Parthia).
Antony: Caesarion is now heir
Octavian: *and i took that personally*
Purple was the color of royalty. It was so because it was very difficult to obtain the dye. It jnvolved crushing marine snails 🐌 and boiling them to obtain the chemicals needed for dying the cloth.
Cowery shells
OR.... it could also involve mixing blue dye and red dye together in a vat.
@@Dave_Sisson the purple you're thinking about was called "false purple". And the process of obtaining blue was expensive too, at least at the time, and the colour obtained just wasn't the same as royal purple.
@@Dave_Sisson That didn't work with ancient dyes. If you wanted something dyed purple, you had to spend a fortune for it. It is why the color became associated with royalty.
When you fail to conquer Parthia so naturally you make your 5-year-old son the king of it
To be fair the 5 year old would have probably done a better job

Probably because the borders of the west were mostly defined by rivers, contrary to the east, where there were more 'made up' borders.
@@waltervanbrunchem2462 You are seriously confusing 20th century Middle Eastern history with Ancient Middle Eastern history here.
@@waltervanbrunchem2462 Because rivers borders are totally not made up, I mean there's just thousands of rivers in Europe, it's logical to split countries following these specific rivers there :p
All frontiers are made up ^^
I think he just means that the shape of the land in general is really wonky
@@krankarvolund7771 Sort of. One could build bridges and ferries over rivers to push the frontier farther away if one wanted. Caesar moved into German territory once and delcared it a triumph and a Roman accomplishment of invasion.
But pragmatically, it's just easier to defend territory if you stop at a river, a mountain range, or some other natural barrier to travel.
North Africa and the Middle East have deserts, but those are HYUGE. A definite border is MUCH less clear along a desert than along a river or a sudden increase in evelation.

"... aggravated her illness deliberatly ..." Maybe she got the news about Cleo and was heartbroken and stood with only a nightgown in the wind till she got a pneumonia. Then Anthony could have killed her just by telling the news.

Honestly Anthony seems smart af on some issues and dumb as a rock on others. Even though he's despicable in lots of ways, I feel like he's a weirdly human character in all of this.
Just was NOT a tactician
@@canadabacon4 He was a better tactician than Octavian though. Arguably, tactics was his stronger suit, and his politics became shrewd only when Cleopatra started "helping" him. Competence level was just overall much lower in this generation than in the one before
Some people are just incredibly specialized. Antony didn’t always play to his strengths.
There was someone who once said Antony kinda just seems like an officer who got lucky beyond his wildest dreams
He seems like a somewhat smart guy who thinks he is better than he actually is

@@infidelheretic923 You missed the joke
Kinda shocking that Antony left his supply lines wide open and far apart.
"I'm not saying that Antony murdered his wife, but he did do that, and I am saying that, and he should be in jail."
Question for @Historia Civilis or anyone who may answer:
First of all, congratulations on this wonderful series.
The way it is presented in this video, it seems as if Anthony and Cleopatra didn’t know each other -or at least they weren’t acquainted- up until the events of Tarsus. Back in college as part as a general studies History class, I wrote paper on Mark Anthony and Cleopatra. As part of my research, it is my understanding that Anthony and Cleopatra already knew each other since Caesar was alive. Moreover, since Cleopatra was in Rome during the Ides of March, it was Anthony who arranged for her to leave the city with Caesarion in the ensuing chaos of Caesar’s death -this also was not mentioned in the video covering Caesar’s funeral-.
I understand that this videos present a simplified version of all historical events, but it seems this is something that was worth enough bringing up at least, unless my aforementioned research was wrong.
Could you please clarify?
Regarding Media Atropatene, it is not actually the only kingdom like this within the Parthian state. There were quite a few like this since Parthia was essentially a feudal state.
Cleopatra had a plan how to seduce Anthony:
She asked him out on a date but she let him claim that it was he who asked her out on a date!
And it worked.
So true
Cleopatra having to date Antony after dating Caesar is a real lesson in managing your expectations as an older single person.
@@Kanner111 Sounds more like a tale of 'love is overrated, political clout all day!' :'D
@@Kanner111 Not even the Library of Alexandria burned this badly.
@@Kanner111 I think her relationship with Caesar was more political like he probably cared about her but it seemed like he still loved his wife and sense cleopatra was not a Roman citizen he was not technically doing anything wrong. Her relationship with Anthony seems like it become more of a real relationship probably cause they were closer in age
One day we will get the actium video. One day...
Just failed my midterm today, thank you for the entertainment
Ventidius is the most baller guy I've never heard of.
A new Historia Civilis video is a true treat to be cherished and enjoyed.
Ohhhh Saturday morning breakfast and this. Perfect timing.
I love these videos more than I can really state in words. Such a digestible way of telling history, without treating me like a child and dumbing everything down. Big massive thank you!
Is there a follow up video to this? I’ve been watching your entire Roman History playlist and I can’t get enough.
I need to learn moreeee

Crassus: I have the biggest failed invasion of Parthia
Antony: Hold my toga
This series is great at explaining the tiny stuff that people leave out of the history books for some reason.
I highly doubt Antony killed Fulvia to sleep with Cleopatra or marry Octavia. If she did die unnaturally it’s likely that it was at Octavian’s orders, possibly with Antony’s consent as they did blame their quarrels on her.
It wasn’t unusual at all for a Roman aristocrat to divorce his wife to secure a better political alliance
Fair point.
There was no need for Antony to murder Fulvia when divorce was so easy.
Antony is innocent!
Probably.
I am confused too why this channel is so certain he murdered her, when Octavian for example so casually divorced his wife moved in with Livia when she was pregnant with other man’s son and he was just fine with the divorce. Fulvia was very important woman for sure, but not I divorcable.
Also if the murder happened it was to Antonius to marry Octavia (their two children also weren’t mentioned in this video).
Psyched for a new video drop, came right over
Dovahatty and historia civilis both uploaded, what a week.
I learned a lot of new things in this episode!
I'd never heard the donations of Alexandria framed as a strategy to stabilize the roman empire before.
I also didn't know most of the things that were covered about parthea's invasion of re and Anthony's invasion of Parthia.
Also the whole presentation Cleopatra put together when she went to meet Antony. By the end my mind had assumed that was in a second new historia civilis video I must have watched just before this one.
I appreciate that you took the time to explain how the Roman East was still new at this time and was held together by a complicated system that involved depending on allies who could always decide to not be helpful and how that would lead to problems.
Herod was extremely competent and loyal. I don't think he gets enough credit in the video for his role in driving The Parthians out of The Levant.
*Paitiently waiting for the next one*
Link please..
@@ianvucetich4976 Link for what? Lol
I've read multiple historians on the topic and you are the FIRST who says that Fulvia was murdered by Antony.
I know about noone else who even suggested this idea.
Just saying... :D
Antony should’ve checked with Tribune Aquila first, before he tried to reorganise anything.
what a simple way to make one's day.
Anthony and Cleopatra were stubborn teens who had wild delusions and impossible dreams. They met a fitting end after the Battle of Alexandria, both committed suicide.
Would you do a video about what happened after these events? The next available jumsps to 9 C.E.
Im loving the channel man. Getting adicted.
Ventidius totally a Chad lol
he actually did make a video on Teutoberg forest WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY back
The way this guys tells historical events is truly immersive and yet intriguing by the animated and over-schematic scenaris. Your way of telling stories from the past has a sense of psychedelic experience. I suggest everyone watch the Assassination of Caesar to figure out what I mean. I'm kept in a state of mesmerized fascination when I watch your videos
I am hooked on this series. Was hoping these were all very old and I could binge watch this history but now I am all caught up and the story continues. I guess I can wait!!!!!!!
Right, cleo and anthony spent those 4 days “negotiating” 😏
They were "aggressive negotiations" alright. Even strenuous, some might say.
But in the end they were at least able to come to an agreement

these are getting ridiculously good, its like watching a movie, keep up the great work! by far my fav channel
Why would you trust Octavian? He keeps stabbing people in the back.
i love your videos so much, it sucks that they come out every like 3 months but I think that just makes them better. Everytime one of your videos comes out, I go and watch some of your older videos too because they are also unbelievably good and then for the next 3 months I check your page every week or so to see if you uploaded a new video.
I have nothing to say, but comments are good for the TH-cam algorithm, and this channel is amazing.
So after thinking, I don’t think Octavian extremely over exaggerated Anthony giving away Rome’s providences away. Did he use it for his political advantage, yes. Did he make it seem worse sure. But Anthony did give providences away as well as name another country ruler of the eastern Mediterranean. For a political move, it was a dumb choice by Anthony.
Hi! I was worried when your uploads stopped for so long. I’m glad you’re okay.
Thank you for the content :)
Still waiting on a follow up video. Great work, I've rewatched this series multiple times now. You're a great story teller 🟥
Mark Antony and Octavian are the worst things that could have happened to rome and I am frustrated they had that that much power when they were this shitty
I'm convinced that Antony didn't murder his wife.
