Note 135 — Chapter XXVII · THE LAST DAYS OF THE REPUBLIC
Reading edition
[Says Floruse: “The madness of Antony, which could not be allayed by ambition, was at last exterminated by luxury and licentiousness. The Egyptian woman demanded of the drunken general, as the price of her favours, nothing less than the Roman Empire. This Antony promised her; as though the Romans had been easier to conquer than the Parthians.”]
