An Excellent, if Brief, Biography on a Great Man
This book is about Marc Antony, triumvir, lieutenant of Caesar, lover of Cleopatra, and the future Emperor Augustus's most formidable adversary. That there isn't more written on one of the most famous men in history is astonishing. This book rectifies some of that. It is short, at only 160 pages, but it covers an awful lot in those pages. Antony is often seen in a negative manner, at least among experts, but Miss Southern points out how hostile all of the sources are to him. Augustus didn't want any positive accounts of Antony to come out, and by the time he died there were few alive who could remember the man.
