31 BCE · Resource
This episode is the fourth and final part of a multi-episode examination of Mark Antony, Cleopatra VII and Octavian in the late Roman Republic. The hosts discuss Octavian's propaganda campaign (c. 33–31 BC) that portrayed Antony as effeminate and enslaved by Cleopatra, and how Roman misogyny and anti-foreign prejudice made such smears effective.
