Mark Antony's death

[annied]

How did Mark Antony die and where?  Did he committ suicide during the battle at Actium or was it later back in Alexandria with Cleopatra?

Are you talking historically or in the Shakespeare play? I don't know the historic answer, but in the play, it's a bit more complicated. He stabs himself after the battle but doesn't die instantly: he's carried to Cleopatra's hiding place to die there.

A very quick Google search on "Actium" (without inverted commas) produced this site, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Actium whose historical notes say that Antony and Cleopatra escaped from the battle, and both committed suicide a year later.

Yes. Plutarch says that 13 years after the murder of Caesar,  Antony and Cleopatra were dead by their own hands. The location was a palace believed to be on the present day waterfront of Alexandria.
