Person
Marcus Antonius Creticus
Marcus Antonius Creticus was a Roman praetor given a wide command against Mediterranean pirates in 74 BCE. His attack on Crete, accused of supporting the pirates, ended in a heavy naval defeat near Kydonia around 71 BCE, and he died soon afterwards; the surname Creticus recalled this campaign. He was the father of the triumvir Mark Antony.
