Cleopatra and Mark Antony
Mark Antony seems to be following in Caesar's footsteps, but he goes further than his mentor ever did. He deserts his Roman wife Octavia, sister of Octavian, and marries Cleopatra. Her position is more secure than ever, but she still can't rest easy with her treasonous sister, Arsenui, still active. On his new wife's orders, Mark Antony has the royal princess murdered on the steps of her temple. Many Roman politicians suspect that he is trying to become the unchecked ruler of Egypt and other Eastern kingdoms.
