[edit] Merge?

Well, I'm not sure where the idea of merging this page with the historical Mark Antony is discussed on the linked Talk page (I can't find it) but it's a bad idea, IMO. Mark Antony in Rome has already diverged quite a bit from the historical Mark Antony. Conflating the two would be a disservice to both articles and would only be confusing.

[edit] Marraige

Mark Antony is said to be married in episode two. On the ride to Rome, when Antony is having sex along the side of the road and Vorenius and Pullo are talking, they mention how Antony is married, they just don't mention to whom.--2ltben 03:36, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Vorenius tells his subordinate Pullo that he can't behave like Mark Anthony (who at that point is having enthusiastic sex with a shepherdess while his escort waits patiently) because he (Pullo) is "under the standard" i.e. on duty. Pullo responds "what about him (Marc Anthony)". Vorenius responds wearily "he's not under the standard". The restraint is military duty not marital commitments (which are not mentioned).
