Client Kingsin Plutarch Plutarch describes how the Kings of the East rushed to gain the patronage of Mark Antony when he first came to the east after the death of Julius Caesar: Then he left behind Lucius Censorinus in charge of Greece. He went across to Asia and took possession of the wealth there. Kings waited at his door. The wives of kings competed with one another with their gifts and using their beauty, allowed themselves to be seduced by him. Plutarch Antony24 According to Plutarch Antony 37, when Mark Antony marched against the Parthians, Artavasdes, King of Armenia, provided six thousand cavalry and seven thousand infantry. And he was only one of many. At the Battle of Actium Plutarch lists the Kings in support of Mark Antony: The subject kings who fought with him were Bocchus the king of Libya, Tarcondemus the King of Upper Cilicia, Archelaüs of Cappadocia, Philadelphus of Paphlagonia, Mithridates of Commagene, and Sadalas of Thrace. These kings were present. Armies were also sent by Polemon from Pontus, by Malchus from Arabia, by Herod the Jew (Judaea), and also by Amyntas the King of Lycaonia and Galatia; the King of the Medes also sent an auxiliary force.
