Mark Antony / 马克·安东尼
Mark Antony / 马克·安东尼 appears in 124. 恺撒之死：历史的韵脚，是否已失效？ as [[JuliusCaesar|Caesar]]’s trusted general, political ally, and crucial aftermath figure. The episode highlights the Lupercalia scene where Antony offered Caesar a crown, one of the incidents that convinced republican opponents that Caesar was testing the boundary of kingship.
After the [[CaesarAssassination|assassination]], Antony matters because Marcus Brutus / 马库斯·布鲁图斯 opposed killing Caesar’s allies. That choice let Antony help control the public funeral and later join [[OctavianAugustus|Octavian]] and Lepidus in renewed civil conflict against the republican side.
The source later follows Antony into the final conflict with Octavian and Cleopatra VII / 克娄巴特拉七世, making him one of the bridges from Caesar’s personal rule to the [[RomanEmpire|imperial settlement]] that followed.
