Antony and Cleopatra — Act 3, Scene 9: Another part of the plain.

Antony and Enobarbus appear on the plain and Antony gives a quick military order: he wants their squadrons placed on the far side of the hill, where they can see Caesar’s battle and count the enemy ships. From that higher position, Antony plans to judge the situation and decide how to act. The scene shows him thinking in practical terms for once, using Enobarbus as part of his command while he tries to observe Caesar’s forces before moving. After giving the direction, Antony and Enobarbus leave at once.
