    I have to disagree with you here--nearly everyone else in the show thinks Antony is a brute, and while he is certainly a hedonist, he has also shown himself to be remarkably clever. He plays his image as a simple brute to his great advantage again and again, as especially seen in the most recent episode.

    What's interesting in Shakespeare's play is that Antony's transformation from great Roman general and man of action is supposed to have been effected by the wiles of Cleopatra, seen (along with Egypt) as the essential corrupting influence, in sexual and political terms, over the sea-green incorruptibles of Rome.

      A question:

      Caesar gets Vorenus elected to some magistracy. Now, it doesn't seem like one of the cursus honorum magistracies, but I wasn't aware any other had existed. What happened, then?

                              Well it was about time some gay Greek sex happened. It's Rome, debauchery must go forth!

                                Bah, they're not gonna let Atia die. She'll get really sick and recover.

                                Looks like Servillia's in for it next episode. And Antony clearly loses a battle to Octavian & friends. I wonder how long that promise not to harm the "boy" will last?
