# The Donations of Alexandria are a completed public territorial grant-heading

Date: 34 BC

## The fact

Octavian-era publicity is thick here. Medium confidence on unique wording; high that a public grant-ceremony is in the later file. The dated public instrument is stored under 1920-04-01. [Mark Antony](/people/mark-antony) did not operate this later page as a civil-registry autograph.

It is one event.

## Context

Shared institutions, unnamed crews, and later editors remain in the record and do not erase a documented heading.

Mark Antony Shared work with other named actors remains in the record.

Mark Antony’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below. Sharing a field with them is not a reason to drop a documented act, and it is not a reason to assign later consequences done in the name after death.

Conventional 83–30 BCE. Proscriptions, Philippi, Actium, and Alexandrian death are later Plutarch/Appian/Dio.
