Part of The Ancients

With Hannah Cornwell

Hannah Cornwell on the months after the Ides, when Antony held the consulship and the nineteen-year-old Octavian held Caesar's name. Forty-nine minutes on how that standoff became a triumvirate.

Part of Emperors of Rome

Antony besieging Decimus Brutus while the senate sent two consuls and a nineteen-year-old against him. Forty-eight minutes on the campaign that killed both consuls and made Octavian.

Part of The History of Rome

Duncan on the propaganda war: Octavian as Apollo and order, Antony as Dionysus and the east. Twenty-six minutes on how you make a civil war look like a foreign one.

Part of Life of Caesar

Mutina, the two consuls dead in a month, and a nineteen-year-old marching on Rome to demand a consulship. Eighty minutes on the year the senate discovered what it had encouraged.

Part of Emperors of Rome

The two hundredth episode, live: the Donations of Alexandria, in which Antony handed Roman provinces to a foreign queen's children. An hour on the gift that made Actium inevitable.

Part of Ithaca Bound · Andrew Schiestel on the Mediterranean, 2021 to 2022; only the Roman episodes are indexed

Part of Emperors of Rome

Fifty-four minutes on the eleven months in Alexandria after the defeat, and two suicides staged with care. The asp arrives late in the tradition and may be entirely literary.

Part of The Ancients

With Daisy Dunn

Daisy Dunn on the pair from Tarsus to the tomb, fifty-three minutes. The political arithmetic gets as much room as the romance, which is the only way the ending makes sense.

Part of The Ancients

With Jeffrey Tatum

Jeff Tatum on the stretch from Philippi in 42 BC to Actium, the years when Antony was the senior partner in the triumvirate and spent that advantage. Forty-five minutes, the second of two parts.

Part of The Ancients

With Jeffrey Tatum

Forty-two minutes on Antony before Cleopatra: Caesar's deputy, the master of horse, and the man who read the will out loud at the funeral.

Part of Emperors of Rome

With Kathryn Tempest

Forty-two minutes on the fourteen speeches Cicero aimed at Antony while the armies were already marching. He named them after Demosthenes on purpose, and it cost him his head and his hands, nailed to the rostra he had spoken from.

Part of The Rest Is History

Part three of four, forty minutes on what Plutarch and then Shakespeare did to the story before anyone alive today met it.

Part of Emperors of Rome

With Barry Strauss

Thirty-five minutes on a naval battle that was mostly a blockade, and a flight that ended the war before the fighting finished.

Part of Historia Civilis

Thirty minutes of rectangles on Antony's Parthian campaign, the one that lost him the reputation Actium then finished off.

Part of The Pax Romana Podcast

Twenty-eight minutes on Cleopatra as a player in Roman politics with her own interests, which is how she behaved and rarely how she is written.

Part of Historia Civilis

Twenty-six minutes of coloured rectangles on the last year of both of them, Actium to the asp. Historia Civilis is strongest on sequence, and 30 BC is almost entirely sequence.

Part of The History of Rome

Twenty-four minutes on the battle and the year of waiting that preceded it, where desertion and malaria did more damage than the fleet.

Part of The Pax Romana Podcast

The proscriptions of 43, three hundred senators and two thousand knights on the lists, and Cicero's hands nailed to the rostra. Sixteen minutes.

Part of Ancient Rome Live

The children Antony had with Cleopatra and with Octavia, and what Augustus did with them. Most of them lived.

Part of The Partial Historians

The second half of the Taylor and Burton epic, and the studio that nearly went under making it. Eighty-three minutes, with the history checked as they go.

Part of The Ancients

With Daisy Dunn

Daisy Dunn on the women of the late Republic, Servilia, Fulvia, Clodia and the rest, who had no office and considerable power. Fifty-one minutes.
