In this Historia Civilis video, at the 6:46 mark, the narrator claims that Antony murdered Fulvia, which was covered up as an illness. However, after quickly checking a few sources, they assert that her cause of death was indeed illness. Do we have any evidence of possible murder beyond speculation?
Audio transcript for brevity:
"In Greece Antony began receiving regular updates from the Roman west once more; the rebellion ignited by his brother Lucius and his wife Fulvia had just ended in failure, meaning, at their greatest moment of peril, Antony had been hanging out with his girlfriend in a different country with his phone turned off.
Was this on purpose? Did he strategically make himself unreachable at this time? Perhaps.
Antony and Fulvia reunited in Greece, but within a few months Fulvia fell ill, and died. We're told she died of natural causes, but we're also told that she qoute "aggravated her illness deliberately", to which I say "wwwwwhat?".
Here's another data-point - the moment Fulvia fell ill, Antony had just learned Cleopatra gave birth to twins; we know that the couple thought this was a historic occassion because they would later name the children "Alexander Helios" and "Cleopatra Selene" - the Sun and the Moon.
It was at this pivotal moment that Fulvia fell mysteriously ill and died. I'm not saying there was foul play, I'm just saying Antony definetly murdered his wife."
