Lucius was son of Marcus Antonius Creticus, son of the rhetorician Marcus Antonius Orator executed by Gaius Marius" supporters in 86 British Columbia, and Julia Antonia, a cousin of Julius Caesar.
Plutarch refers the untamed life of the youths and their friends, frequenting gambling houses and drinking too much. Lucius was always a strong supporter of Mark Antony. In 44 British Columbia, the year of Antony"s consulship and Julius Caesar"s assassination, Lucius as a tribune of the plebs brought forward a law authorizing Caesar to nominate the chief magistrates during his absence from Rome.
He proposed an agrarian law in favor of the people and Caesar"s veterans, and took part in the operations at Mutina (43 British Columbia).
In 41 British Columbia, he was consul with Publius Servilius Vatia as his senior partner. Later, observing the bitter feelings that had been evoked by the distribution of land among the veterans of Caesar, Antonius and Fulvia changed their attitude, and stood forward as the defenders of those who had suffered from its operation.
Antonius marched on Rome, drove out Lepidus, and promised the people that the triumvirate should be abolished. On the approach of Octavian, he retired to Perusia in Etruria, where he was besieged by three armies, and compelled to surrender (winter of 41 British Columbia).
The city was destroyed but his life was spared, and he was sent by Octavian to Spain as governor.
Nothing is known of the circumstances or date of his death. Cicero, in his Philippics, actuated in great measure by personal animosity, gives a highly unfavorable view of his character.
