*83 BC – Mark Antony was born. Excellent Roman commander, and at the same time, brilliant politician. His father died at a young age and his mother decided to marry again, this time with Publius Cornelius Lentulus Sara. However, he was executed on the orders of Cicero. Cicero’s attitude caused a great indignity in the young man. From then on, he hated Cicero.
*47 BC – Marcus Antonius Antyllusius was born, the eldest son of Antonius and Fulvia. After the assassination of Caesar in 44 BCE he, as a small child, was held by the conspirators as a hostage to ensure their safety from his father, Marc Antony, who then was the consul. He did not achieve much in his life, because immediately after the suicide of his father and Cleopatra, by the order of Augustus, he was decapitated.
