What is the setting in Shakespeare's play, Antony and Cleopatra?

Shakespeare's play Antony and Cleopatra
revolves around these actual characters from Roman and Egyptian history. This
is the second of Shakespeare's trilogy of Roman plays—the first was Julius
Caesar, better received at the time than Antony and
Cleopatra was during the bard's lifetime. (The third play is
Coriolanus.)

This story is a
continuation of that which began in Julius Caesar. When Caesar is
murdered by Brutus, Cassius and other co-conspirators, a second triumvirate is formed.

is

...a
government of three officers or magistrates
functioning jointly

This
group included Octavius (Caesar's adopted son and heir), Antony (who deeply loved
Caesar), and Lepidus, an older and accomplished former soldier who Antony—with Octavius'
begrudging agreement—delegates to a lesser role. Brutus and his murderous compatriots
are defeated, and Antony takes a leading role in governing
Rome.

In Antony and Cleopatra, Antony
goes to Egypt, where he falls in love with Egypt's queen, Cleopatra. Because the action
of the play moves back and forth between Antony's home and scenes with Cleopatra, the
setting of the play is Rome, Egypt and several
battlefields—the battlefields become a part of the play as Octavius eventually accuses
Lepidus of treason, and attacks and defeats Antony's troops in
Egypt.

Antony, wrongfully believing Cleopatra is dead,
tries to kill himself, and—wounded, is taken to the queen. When Antony dies, Cleopatra
and two of her servants commit suicide. Octavius orders a "state funeral" for the
lovers, and departs for Italy, the sole ruler of Rome.
