Plot summary
McCullough continues her Master's of Rome Series with the seventh and final installment, Antony and Cleopatra. The novel spans the years 41 B.C. to 27 B.C, from the aftermath of the Battle of Philippi and the suicide of Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longinus until the downfall of the second triumvirate, the final war of the roman republic and the naming of Octavian to Augustus in 27 BC. The novel, which is supposed to be McCulloughs last in the "Masters of Rome" series, focuses mainly of the (famous) love story between Mark Antony, victor at Philippi, and queen Cleopatra, earlier the lover of Caesar.
