Etymology
[ edit ]
Timonium takes its name from the Timonium Mansion, the home of Mrs. Archibald Buchanan, who, in melancholia due to the loss of eyesight and the death of a close friend, felt her life was like that of Mark Antony after the Battle of Actium . The original Timonium was an incomplete palace Mark Antony built on the island of Antirhodos in the harbor of Alexandria , Egypt. Antony died by suicide at the palace after receiving a false report that Cleopatra had died by suicide.[3]
