Octavian took power from Marc Antony because Antony divorced Octovia for Cleopatra and Octavian saw it as an insult. So Octavian set war on Antony but he escaped back to Egypt with Cleopatra. There the two committed suicide so they wouldn't be taken as prisoner by Octavian. Octavian then became Rome's sole rule.
