Cleopatra meets Antony with money and supplies …
Years: 35BCE - 35BCE
Cleopatra meets Antony with money and supplies on his return to Syria.
Octavian, exploiting the occasion and the contrast of Antony's failure with the decisive victory he himself—or rather his admiral Agrippa—has won against Sextus Pompeius, sends Octavia to Antony along with troops and provisions.
However, the soldiers fall far short of the numbers Antony expects (and are owed by his fellow-triumvir), and he now makes a future breach between the two leaders almost inevitable by ordering Octavia to return to Rome.
