Capitolo 60
their government was completely overthrown, and the way was open for the
March of the Roman armies to Alexandria.
Mark Antony, when he/she judged from our standards, certainly it was, as
Ptolemy, a perverted and vicious man; but its depravation was a lot of a
different type from that of the father of Cleopatra. The difference in the
men, in a respect they were very clearly it showed from the objects toward
what their interest and attention you/he/she was turned later respectively this
great battle. While the dispute was following, the king and queen of
Egypt, Archelaus and Berenice were, clearly, in the sight both of
Antony and Ptolemy, the two most evident characters in the army of
their enemies; and while Antony would naturally look with the greatest
you interest the fate of his/her friend, the king, Ptolemy is able as naturally
follows with the tallest worry the destiny of his/her daughter.
Accordingly, when the battle was ended, while the mind of Ptolemy it was able,
as we should naturally wait us, is mainly busy from the fact that his
_daughter_ was made a prisoner, Antony, is probable that we suppose, it would be
absorbed by the news that his/her _friend_ had been killed.
The rejoiced and the other ones cried. Antony looked for for the body of
his/her friend on the battleground, and when you/he/she was found, he gave
him completely to the job to provide for him a more magnificent
burial. He seemed, to the funeral, to complain about the death of his/her venerable old man
comrade with true and not influences subject pain. Ptolemy, on the other hand it was
submerged with joy to finding his/her daughter his/her prisoner. The
long-desire-for now for the gratification of his/her revenge you/he/she had come to
hard, and the first one that him used of his/her power when he had put in
possession of him to Alexandria was to order his/her daughter to be beheaded.
