Mark Antony never became emperor, as we use the term today. The title "imperator" originally was an honor bestowed on military commanders by the legions after great victories. Many Roman generals were declared imperator by troops, including Mark Antony who ruled as a member of a triumvirate that included Octavian (Ceasar's adopted son and heir) but they had a falling out and later led opposing factions in a civil war. Antony committed suicide after his defeat by Octavian, who cooped the name imperator (from which our emperor derives) as a substitute for king which had negative connotations for the Roman people. Roman dictators served for a set period of years and the office was not hereditary; thus, that office did not suite the purposes of Octavian (later known as Augustus). He had the Roman senate declare him emperor with all the powers of a king, eventually including the hereditary right to pass on his office to his chosen heir. Antony never held sole power equivalent to a king as did Augustus.

After the assassination of Julius Caesar Rome broke into civil war with Octavian leading one faction, and Anthony leading the other. Eventually Octavian defeated Anthony and declared himself Emperor under the name Augustus Caesar. __________________________________________________________________ Mark Antony, Octavian, and Lepidus formed the Second Triumvirate. Mark Antony marries Octavian's sister, Octavia. He plans to take over all of Rome and leave Octavian in the dust (or dead). Mark Antony, a party type, goes off to Egypt. There, he falls in love with the Pharaoh, Cleopatra. They have an affair, and Octavian uses this as a tactic to turn the public against Mark Antony (the Romans hate Cleopatra). Using this gossip, he convinces the people that Mark Antony has been "put under a spell" by Cleopatra, and uses this as an excuse to start a war against him. At the Battle of Action (A naval battle), Mark Antony and Cleopatra's forces are defeated, and they both commit suicide. Octavian takes power, and rechristens himself Caesar Augustus.
