This inner conflict leads him to become embroiled in a war with Caesar, one of his fellow triumvirs.

Antony & Cleopatra written around 1606 is one of Shakespeare's great historical love stories.

Antony is captivated by Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt. Gossip and scandal lead to plots of murder and battles.
