Caesar's Most Trusted Commander

Antony would spend the next ten years as Caesar's most trusted commander and a dogged defender of his interests wherever Caesar sent him. Today he showed off his bruises and stirred the troops up into an anti-senatorial frenzy. He knew his role, and he played it well. Having been declared an enemy of the state for refusing to surrender his army, Caesar knew that it would only be a matter of time before Pompey would be ordered north to take him out. His only real hope was to audaciously preempt the Senate's inevitable attack by marching straight for Rome at lightning speed. Maybe the unexpected invasion would cause enough chaos in the city that Pompey would find himself unprepared for a fight.
