 In the series final, following his his crushing naval defeat at Actium by Agrippa s forces, Mark Antony realizes that this spells the end for him and Cleopatra. With a hardened Octavian refusing to be bullied, shamed or negotiated from his terms of taking them into custody, which will lead to public humiliation and ultimately death, there is but one choice left. Following the capture of Alexandra signaling the fall of Egypt and end of the war, Antony chooses the only honorable fate for a former Roman, and turns to his steadfast second and friend, Lucius Vorenus, for assistance. A final, desperate, duplicitous act affects Antony s demise, as Cleopatra hopes to buy time for herself and the lives of her children. One face-to-face meeting with Octavian proves how fruitless her efforts of seduction are, and soon she joins her lover in death by suicide. Above Octavian s suspicion, Titus Pullo and Lucius Vorenus whisk Cleopatria s eldest son, Caesarion, away from Egypt, but not without running into trouble, leaving Lucius gravely wounded. Keeping his promise to his friend, Titus takes Lucius back to Rome in just enough time for him to reunite and reconcile with his children before he passes away. A jubilant coronation is held for Octavian, as the spoils of war from Egypt s defeat are paraded through the streets of Rome... including the encased bodies of Antony and Cleopatra. Atia is left to contemplate the emptiness of ambitions achieved and the finality of Servilia s curse. Stolen glances between Agrippa and Octavia hint that their bond may not be broken after all. Titus Pullo strides down the street with Caesarion, who finally learns the truth about his parentage, as we take in our last glimpse of them and of ROME... finally stable and at peace.
