Final encounters between Octavian and Antony
A few years after the defeat of Sextus Pompey, Octavian wondered whether Marc Antony was under the “magic spell” of Queen Cleopatra of Egypt as Antony was provided with wine, gold and parties.
Octavian took his army to the brutal war against the Dalmatians. Meanwhile, his wife, Livia, was concerned about her rocky marriage as Octavian ignored her. His sister, Octavia received a letter from her husband, Marc Antony, telling her that he loved Cleopatra more than her. She was hurt, and she left Athens for her home in Rome.
Octavian’s old friend, Maecenas also had the marriage trouble with his wife, of whom he was suspicious as he wondered she was having an affair with the son of the former triumvir, Lepidus.
I am amazed at more description of the battle of Actium and how Rome got her glory. All Andrew Frediani’s books are even better than HBO and BBC’s Rome (tv series). I still love this particular story of Rome – the falls of the Republic and “fake” Egypt.
