Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Seven years have passed since Antony's departure from Rome, and the former commander, dissipated and debauched - held in thrall by the charms and sexual prowess of his new bride, Cleopatra, withholds precious shipments of grain from Rome, where people die in the streets from hunger. Unable to incite a war with Antony and Egypt without committing political suicide, Octavian sends Atia and Octavia to Alexandria to mediate and reason with Antony; a strategy which proves predictably unsuccessful. However, former Roman senator Posca and his wife, Jocasta, flee Alexandria with Atia and Octavia to Rome where he provides Octavian with all the ammunition he needs to bring about a war with Antony and Cleopatra. Meanwhile, Pullo has taken over the Avantine gangs of Rome. But later, a fatal blow is stricken to the torrid affair that has continued between Pullo and Gaia, as karmic debt comes to call when she saves him from the sadistic Memmino, but gets fatally wounded, and she lets it slip to Pullo that she was the one who poisoned Eirene. Octavian asks Pullo to join him in the campaign against Egypt, and Pullo agrees without question, hoping to reunite and redeem his blood brother, Vorenus, who continues to stand by Antony's side despite his growing contempt for his commander. Octavian calls for war against Antony in the Senate, and is met with thunderous approval. Written by Christopher Chase (cchase@onebox.com) |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | For the scene where Antony and Cleopatra were making love (while Atia and Octavia wait in the heat outside the palace), James Purefoy and Lyndsey Marshal were reportedly playing the scene while Marilyn Manson's cover of 'Tainted Love' was playing on set, which kept them in the mood. Another song they were listening to keep the energy up was 'Pretty Vacant' by The Sex Pistols. See more » |
| Goofs | At about the 32 minute mark, when Antony and Cleopatra are arguing about what to do about Atia's arrival in Alexandria, just before Cleopatra starts throwing things at Antony the body slave Charmian can be seen behind Antony, on the opposite side of him from Cleopatra. A moment later when Cleopatra actually throws something, Charmian is on the other side of the room behind Cleopatra. See more » |

| Quotes |
Caesarion:
Tell me more about my father. Lucius Vorenus: Told you all that I know. Caesarion: You've told me only what every fool knows. He was a great soldier, the people loved him, blah blah blah. Tell me what he was like, as a man. Lucius Vorenus: Well, he was... he was a good man. He was a good man to have as a friend. You wouldn't want him as an enemy. He had a nasty temper when he was roused. When the battle was going hard and men were faltering, that's when you'd want to see your father at your side. Bravest man I've ever known. Caesarion: More. Lucius Vorenus: Fine horseman. Bad gambler, though he'd never admit it. He liked the women. He liked to eat. He'd eat the whole table if you'd let him. Caesarion: Really? I've always heard he was very... abstemious in his diet. Lucius Vorenus: Yeah, well, that would be right. There's others knew him far better than I did. See more » |
