#marcus antonius natm

In Kingdoms I think this sums up Octavius and Antonius' past relationship...

[creative-chaos-apparently]

Jedtavius and Cleotonius double date!

Feel free to ignore if it doesn't inspire you.

THIS TOOK ME SO SO SO SO LONG IM SORRY

[historical-kitten]

Okay mutuals, nerd with me a minute. Yesterday at work I literally was paid to talk about the historical figures of Cleopatra, Marcus Antonius, and Octavian!

I was so excited to let my Classical Humanities side out. 😂

However, at the end we were talking about who you would rather hang out with.

For my NatM mutuals, Octavius was not the same historically. XDDD

It is: Marcus

Or

Octavian

can you explain the shepard au??? i’m interested

Of course! I'm more than happy to have the opportunity to explain shepherd AU and ramble about it! 😁

Alright so shepherd AU is basically an alternate universe of mine where Jedediah exists in the same timeline as Octavius did, in ancient Rome. In this AU Jedediah is a roman citizen or rather a shepherd living in the countryside near Rome and that's why I named this AU as "the shepherd AU". They'll meet when Octavius brings his army in the countryside to build a temporary military camp there where his soldiers can be trained. In this AU things are also gravely different than what is historically accurate. For example in this AU Octavius isn't the emperor of Rome, but his adoptive father Julius Caesar is who is alive and well (and instead of him being a coldhearted man he's more like an annoying dad who's constantly asking Octavius if he has his eyes on someone already). Octavius is only the leader of an army, a legatus, and that's enough for him. Marcus Antonius is Julius Caesar's heir and Octavius is in good terms with him (unlike what it was in real life) they're basically brothers. I already have the plot of this AU ready so all I really need to do right now is do some planning before I start writing a fic about this.

I hope my incoherent rambling of this AU made at least some sense.

They must assume it is Marcus Antonius because of the little smirk.

Fragment of a mask believed to depict Mark Antony, found at the Taposiris Magna Temple in Egypt.

He died, but he's still smug. Did Octavian have all his statues destroyed because they were all smirking at him? Or maybe he resented how he himself looked haunted in statuary. 😂

@thevintageducky made this amazing gif and I will never stop using it whenever I can. 😂💀

I have no idea how I didn't see this!!!

I have to repost it!! Just in time for Cleopatra's death sometime between August 10 & August 12. (Historians debate the day, I'm not taking a stand.)

She followed him into the afterlife to stick it to Octavian. And sent Octavian a note asking to be entombed with Marcus as she was literally planning her demise to thwart his triumph.

This is gorgeous @creative-chaos-apparently!

Cleopatra & Marcus Antonius

These two have been dead for twenty long Romeo and Juliet style centuries. Ride or die taken a bit too seriously in my opinion.
