The New Dionysus

Octavian realized he could only push the civilian population so far before they wered come after him with pitchforks. The new dionysus actively joined in the rituals of the eastern mystery cults. Antony travelled slowly from greece into asia minor and settled in cilicia on the southern coast. He planned to raise money and men for his invasion of parthia. But having already bled the provinces dry during the years of civil war, there was little left that rome could squeeze out of the natives.
