An insightful biography of Mark Antony (83-30 BCE) that counters longstanding depictions of the Roman general as hedonistic and overly passionate... Tatum artfully analyzes Antony's 'adaptable' and 'fiercely competitive' personality as a product, rather than a deviation from, his aristocratic republican milieu. Roman history buffs will welcome this comprehensive reassessment.
