 | | Antony had met with Cleopatra of Egypt as early as 41 BC in Tarsus, and while Octavian struggled with his own problems, including Antony’s brother, in Italy, Antony was seemingly satisfied to allow the east to rest in political turmoil. | | | By mid-summer of 31 BC, Octavian’s war against his rival, though popularly characterized as being against the Egyptian Queen, had worked itself into little more than a stalemate.... | | | In the meantime, Marcus Antonius moved east to do the same, and to seek further glory against Parthia. |

| | At the end of the 2nd century BC a Polykles and Dionysios, the last two known members of the family, were recorded as working for the Romans on Delos. | | | Since the Aitolian League honoured a Polykles in 210 BC, and several of his works have an Aitolian context, the family may have made its reputation working for the League. | | | Although Pliny (Natural History XXXIV.xix.52) listed Polykles among those sculptors who flourished in the 156th Olympiad (156–153 BC), the numerous testimonia show that at least two sculptors of that name were active during the 2nd century BC. |
