Mark Antony enjoys a drink and a bath with his closest friends as word comes in about a missing general and a raid on a sacred temple. Two of Antony’s loyal soldiers stand guard outside his Patrae villa. Back in Rome, sisters Lucia and Aurelia hear word that Octavian has declared war on Cleopatra.

Antony orates the opening chapter of On Drunkenness, reflecting on famous Roman drinkers and their abstinent counterparts.
