"I saw you at Julius Caesar's Assassination" Girl what were YOU doing at Julius Caesar's Assassination?

--or perhaps,' continues Octavian. 'You're angry that I've outplayed you at your own game because you were too busy fucking in your old master's house to notice anything that was going on around you.'

He smiles suddenly, bright and wide. 'Enjoy the party, Marcus.'

this scene takes place sometime after philippi, and was originally just some historical fiction I was writing last year for fun focusing on antony, octavian, and agrippa. then I got stressed out watching the new season of a show, started drawing while it played, and ended up turning it into a short comic lmao

the dialogue in this scene is referencing this bit out of Suetonius:

In early youth he incurred the reproach of sundry shameless acts. Sextus Pompey taunted him with effeminacy; Mark Antony with having earned adoption by his uncle through unnatural relations; and Lucius, brother of Mark Antony, that after sacrificing his honour to Caesar he had given himself to Aulus Hirtius in Spain for three hundred thousand sesterces, and that he used to singe his legs with red-hot nutshells, to make the hair grow softer. What is more, one day when there were plays in the theatre, all the people took as directed against him and loudly applauded the following line, spoken on the stage and referring to a priest of the Mother of the Gods, as he beat his timbrel: "See'st how a wanton's finger sways the world?"

Suetonius Augustus 68

In the spirit of recent events, I would like to share these photos of Marlon Brando's Mark Antony and Louis Calhern's Caesar sharing doughnuts and coffee, post-Incident. It's important to replace all the fluids you lose after you've been stabbed a couple of times!

This papyrus signed by Cleopatra grants tax exemption from sales of imported wine to the Roman businessman Publius Canidius, a friend of Mark Antony.

At the bottom, in a rare example of her handwriting, Cleopatra herself added the Greek word "ginesthoi," which means "make it happen."

there's a pretty amazing ancient roman subligaculum (a bikini-like loincloth) in the museum of london and i would just like to say. i believe it is our duty as classicists to draw mark antony wearing it
