Mark Antonys personal traits?
Marc Antony was a person who, although a Roman and proud of being Roman, did not have the arrogance that most Romans developed. His personality was one of friendliness to people from the common foot soldier to the aristocratic senators. He could be cruel in a fit of temper, but Plutarch says that he was always sorry afterwards. He was generous and nearly always in debt. He was a heavy drinker and liked the trappings of luxury, but not the responsibility for earning them. He was also a good orator. His partying and some of his companions scandalized many Romans.
