 * 4)  The audience concerning Mark Antony and Octavian was the society of Rome as a whole; the citizens that looked up to them during all of the political events that occurred when they lived. “ Octavian, Antony, and Lepidus formed an official three-man government, called “the second triumvirate” (McManus). Despite the various difference that Antony and Octavian so obviously had, they put aside their egos long enough to run a well-organized city; this was a major factor as to why they were supported by the people. While running this Triumvirate, they conducted bloody proscriptions, executing significant numbers of senators and equestrians so that they could silence opposition and raise money for Rome. Because of their successful running of the government while there were many critical events taking place at the time, the people of Rome were comfortable with the govern of Antony and Octavian. However, a turn of events transformed the general contentedness toward the government and altered it into a wretched hatred toward Antony. “To ensure Egypt’s loyalty to Rome, he sent for Cleopatra to discuss political alliances together. She refused him twice, and when she eventually did agree to meet with him, he was won over by her charm. They soon began a relationship and later moved back to Egypt, where they were married” (“History’s Greatest Love Affair”). As it turns out, Antony cheated on his first wife, Fulvia, when he did this. When the public found out that he had cheated, the government was no longer such a noble organization. With the politicians against each other as well as the citizens lack of support, the audience had a lot to do with the events concerning Mark Antony and Octavian.
