    What if Antony was present for the assassination of Ceaser?

    As in the actual history, Mark Antony, right hand man to Ceaser, had been strategically stopped outside the temple at the time of the assassination. Being pulled aside, he was not around when Ceaser went only to learn after the deed was done that his friend was killed. He thus would flee the...

    48 BC - Year 706 Ab urbe condita A young woman, believed to have been carried by two servants, was smuggled inside a palace covered by the same carpets that decorated her royal chamber She's anxious, yes her brother defied the general Yes her brother murdered the roman But that doesnt make her...
  3. What was Mark Antony's title and official position as a Triunvir?

    The Second Triumvirate is quite famous. Octavian, Mark Antony and Lepidus divided control of the Roman Republic among themselves. Mark Antony got the East, where he would live and eventually become involved with Cleopatra and her family. But it is also known that the power of the Triumvirate...
  4. AHC & WI: Antony's Parthian campaign successful

    (sorry in advance for any mistakes in the title etc, it is my first thread. Also, I hope I am not asking too much :coldsweat: :coldsweat: ) Mark Antony is one of the usually overlooked characters of late Republican Rome. But he was one of the more prominent statesmen and generals of his period...
  5. WI: Cleopatra born male?

    As it says in the title. What would be the fate of Egypt, the Ptolemaic dynasty, Rome, and the rest of history had the last pharaoh been born as a boy? Let's call him Cleopatros, and say that his personality is mostly the same as his IOTL counterpart. Let's also say that he might get into a feud...
  6. WI: Liberators kill Mark Antony

    Let's say after killing Caesar, they kill Mark Antony. Maybe when he goes to meet with them, one of the Liberators panics and does something rash. Maybe Antony gets noticed by a rogue actor when he sneaks out of Rome and is murdered. Whatever the cause, Antony is dead. Without Antony, how does...

    WI: Premature Death of Augustus

    From what I can tell, there is a general scholarly consensus that the stabilization of the Roman world hinged largely, if not entirely, upon the longevity and strength of Augustus' regime. This regime was innovative, both conservative and revolutionary in its nature, based on grants of both...
  8. WI: Mark Antony's campaign against the Parthians succeeds

    Mark Antony's invasion of the Parthian Empire ended in disaster. But what if his campaign had succeeded? Would it have impacted the conflict between him and Octavian?
  9. WI: Arsinoe IV as Well-Known or as Successful as Her Sister, Cleopatra

    As it says on the tin. Cleopatra's certainly the most famous of Ptolemy XII of Egypt's five children. His two sons, Ptolemies XIII (possibly Arsinoe IV's twin brother) and XIV are remembered as little more than Cleopatra's successive husbands. His other two daughters are likewise reduced to the...

    What if the assassins won the civil war?

    If the senatorial people that Mark Antony and Octavian were fighting managed to defeat them and restore the republic fully. Perhaps they pass some reforms that strengthen the Republic and make it less susceptible to civil war and dictators?
  11. AHC: Make Caesarion the Roman Emperor

    Caesarion was the last pharaoh of Ptolemaic Egypt, and likely the son of Julius Caesar. In OTL, he was captured and killed by Augustus. How could Antony and Caesarion win the Final War of the Roman Republic, and what would a more Egyptian-influenced Julio-Claudian dynasty look like?

    WI Mark Antony Died in Parthia in 36 BC

    So here's a question that's been on my head for a while, but what if Mark Antony died/was killed during his failed invasion of Parthia in 36 BC? Obviously Octavian is now the last of the Second Triumvirate's remaining with Lepidus having been forced into an early retirement by this point, but...
  13. 50/49 BC. WI Cato falls severely ill.

    Without Cato being present to influence the negotiations, Cicero manages to convince the two Pompeian consuls to accept the compromise offered by Mark Antony. Caesar gets his province with a single legion and the ability to stand for consul in absentia thus affording him legal immunity. What...

    More Roman TL Ideas/Discussion

    Apparently the Romans are the only part of history I'm interested in writing about. Anyway, I still plan on pursuing the Annals of Aelius TL for 150 more years, but I may start a secondary/minor TL just so I have something else to do and I don't burn out from reading Tacitus and Suetonius over...

    WI: Successful Mark Antony

    So, suppose that Marcus Antonius (anglicized as Mark Antony) is successful in defeating Octavian, be it at the Battle of Actium or an alternate major battle between both. MA ends up in charge of Rome. What title will he assume? Imperator, like Octavian? Dictator Pro Vita? Pontifex Maximus, if...
  16. WI No Roman Empire following the Republic

    What if the Roman Republic still rises to become the superpower of the Mediterranean of OTL, then collapses into civil war, anarchy, and despotism, more or less as it did OTL -- but then, instead of its influence being bound together under the power of a single Principate as OTL, the "empire" of...

    No battle of Actium collaborative timeline

    Hello good people of alternate history gaining inspiration from the 1600 to infinity timeline I wish to start a collaborative timeline all non Asb posts welcome It was a rainy day when a roman spy tried to get out of the pro Antony/Egyptian camp. A camp patrol man walking near the spy's escape...
  18. WI Octavian dies 40 BC

    So in the weeks leading up to the Treaty of Brundisium, in the aftermath of Fulvia's Rebellion, Mark Antony was raising troops to move against the young Caesar; apparently, he intended to make his peace with Sextus Pompey and (AIUI) give him the new spot in the Triumvir. What ended up saving...
  19. WI Mark Antony Killed Clodius (late 53 BC)?

    Very shortly before he was killed OTL by Milo, Publius Clodius Pulcher had an altercation with former ally Mark Antony, who was now sleeping with his wife at the time. To quote Goldsworthy: "His old quarrel with Clodius reignited and on one occasion a sword-armed Mark Antony let a group that...
  20. One Caesar is Too Many

    [44 BC] – … and thus was Caesar killed and mourned. With the assassins fled from the city, and the dictator's other critics cowed, Marcus Antonius was not only Consul, but the successor to Caesar's absolute power in all but official name. And yet, in only about a year, he would fall in battle...
