A heartbroken Mark Antony immediately took his own life by stabbing himself in the stomach. In one account, he was taken to her side while still barely alive, where he told her that he had one ally left from Octavian's side, and that she should trust him. It was a horrible mistake. Cleopatra's meeting Mark Antony was truly dramatic.
