James Purefoy = the ultimate Mark Antony on screen. He simply outclassed Burton.

@Saiaton I see thanks :) Before watching Rome I had perceived Antony as merely a bit of a fish out of water, a Roman soldier who got too close to a foreign queen. When watching Rome I was pleasantly surprised by the whole situation.
Cleopatra was extremely clever thats true. However even a short-sighted leader would think to be on good terms with a power which had enormously grown within only a few years, but only Cleo saw a way to make it so Rome would want her country to stay independent!

@Standuble Very likely. He was distrusted as a lecherous drunk with too little control over his temper and his brothers were worse. Even here, Octavian's seductress Cleopatra propaganda repeats. She was strong, intelligent and believed in her divine mandate as Pharoah to protect Egypt that none of her ancestors had given a damn about. As she saw, Antony was best Roman bet and once he defeated Octavian, either Egypt was a safe independent ally or Alexandria ruled the savages in Europe

@f11R2 I think at least they got the "loved Cleopatra" bit right in this series, which was probably the most important part.
Those two were heaps of fun in the limited time we saw them on screen. Probably my favourite coupling in the series, but I doubt many people will agree with me there :)

*sigh* Such a gorgeous man ;)

Purefoy is the Best Mark Anthony of all Time. they used to say Mark Anthony was the Image of Dionisus. Purefoy matches the spirit of the whole Idea.

@AlienNationOAP If you do not think that James Purefoy looks "rugged and masculine", you need glasses.
