Background
Mark Antony was her mother"s third husband.
Mark Antony was her mother"s third husband.
As Clodius had done previously, Antony was happy to accept Fulvia"s money to boost his career. Following Julius Caesar"s assassination on March 15, 44 British Columbia, Antony formed the second triumvirate with Octavian and Lepidus and embarked on a savage proscription. Subsequently, Octavian chose Clodia.
These actions caused political and social unrest, but when Octavian asked for a divorce from Clodia, Fulvia herself decided to take action.
Together with Lucius Antonius, her brother-in-law, she raised eight legions in Italy to fight for Antonius" rights against Octavian, in what became the Perusine War. The army occupied Rome for a short time, but eventually retreated to Perusia (modern Perugia).
Octavian besieged Fulvia and Lucius Antonius in the winter of 41-40 British Columbia, starving them into surrender. Fulvia was exiled to Sicyon, where she died of a sudden illness.
Clodia Pulchra"s subsequent fate is not known.
