"I'm not saying there was foul play... I'm just saying Anthony definitively murdered his wife."
Who gave him permission to invade parthia? I sure as hell didn't
I swear Antony's story is just everyone around him succeeding at what he wanted to do
Man, Ventidius just casually pulled off a Caesar and then just vanishes from the records. What a boss.
Cant wait to listen to this 15 times over the next week to get repeatedly angry at Antony's failures.
Antony said his wife aggravated her own illness, and we know Antony is an honorable man.
I would like to congratulate Antony on becoming pregnant once more.
I'm disappointed it wasn't mentioned in the video, because Ventidius is one of my favorite lesser known Romans. But he started his life being a captative in another Roman's triumph. He then worked his way up through the Roman army, and after his victories, was awarded a triumph for himself. The feeling of elation he must have felt would've been massive as well as an example of the social mobility of competent men in Rome.
My wife and i literally came back tipsy from the bar and the first thing she said was "Let's watch the next episode of that roman thing" and i said "hell yes!". We are big fans of historia civilis
This is ark is definitely more interesting than the Pompey/Caesar dynamic. Anthony being a thick headed narcissist and Octavian being a nerdy sociopath makes for more insane twists and turns than two competent generals actually duking it out.
The Son of Labienus led the Parthian Army
Ventidius reportedly didn't pursue the Parthians further because he was concerned that he'd incur Antony's jealousy if he did so. I like to imagine Ventidius was the ultimate straight-man in all this dramatic high Roman politics, he saw how nuts all these major players were and dipped to the countryside rather than get dragged in to it all.
Ventidius:
“Anthony and Cleopatra spent the next four days locked in aggressive negotiations”
I like how Octavian just stormed out of the senate and got to the first podium he saw to deliver a speech. That's how I imagine every single senate meeting ended in Rome
Arguably, getting out of Parthia with only 50% of your army starving to death in the cold represents real progress compared to the previous campaign!

"Ok I'm going to stop procrastinating and do some work."
"Let's go invade Parthia, it will get me far more glory than my rival's conquests"
Cleopatra: "So, listen, you've got my sister in prison, and I kind of would like to have her..."
