Antonius, Marcus, 83 B.C.?-30 B.C.

Roman politician, general, triumvir, and relative of Julius Caesar, known presently as "Mark Antony." Antony played a large role in the shifting of the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire, forming a three-man dictatorship with Marcus Aemilius Lepidus and Octavian known as the Second Triumvirate following the assassination of Caesar. Although Antony married Octavian's sister, Octavia, he continued his love affair with Cleopatra VII of Egypt.

Anti-Jacobin

The arch-conservative Anti-Jacobin, or, Weekly Examiner, founded by George Canning and a few friends, was published from 1797-1798, edited by William Gifford. On its demise it was followed by the less effective Anti-Jacobin Review and Magazine, or, Monthly Political and Literary Censor (1798-1821). These periodicals lampooned not only "Jacobins," that is, supporters of the French revolution, and other radicals, but Dissenters, Catholics, abolitionists, Whigs, those who would educate the poor, and many other moderate groups as well.
