To tell you the truth I just skimmed the last pages of the book, since I couldn't take Antony's sad fate at the end of the story. I fell in love with the rude, childish, selfish guy, as if he's the most charming protagonist instead of the semi antagonist. Compare to the cold, indifferent Octavianus (aka Caesar Augustus), I like Antony better because he had great sense of humor. But his weakness, like many great leaders, was women, and the worst woman came in form of Queen of Egypt, Cleopatra.

Excellent! Big, sprawling, epic novel. The sort I love to loose myself in. A very human Anthony against a very cold and calculating Octavian. FABULOUS!
