Good size Bronze Bust of General Mark Antony 83 to -30 BC ... a love history..

With Julie Caesar´s death , Rome split between supporters of Mark Antony and Octavian. Octavian was officially Caesar's heir. Cleopatra Pharaoh of Egypt was watching , and when Mark Antony seemed to prevail, she supported him and, shortly after, they became lovers.
The Romans became furious as Antony was giving away parts of their Empire - Tarsus, Cyrene, Crete, Cyprus, and Palestine - all were gifts to Cleopatra .
Octavian declared war on Cleopatra, and off the coast of Greece in the Adriatic Sea they met in one of the most famous battles in history: Actium. Octavian won and Mark Antony died . Cleopatra was the last Pharaoh. Egypt became part of Rome...everyboby knows how Cleopatra died shortly after...
