Octavius' name changed to Octavian after he was adopted by Julius Caesar.

Octavian and Mark Antony did not like each other. Octavian thought that Mark Antony was arrogant and an inept administrator. Mark Antony did not like the fact that Caesar had made Octavian his heir. Their conflict went way beyond a heated argument. It escalated into a civil war over who would become the sole ruler of the Roman territories. Octavian was in charge of the western part and Mark Antony was in charge of the eastern part. A Propaganda war started between the two men. Eventually Octavian found an excuse to declare war on Mark Antony's ally, Cleopatra VII of Egypt, knowing that Antony would come to her help. This has been called the Final Civil War of the Roman Republic. Octavian won and Cleopatra and Mark Antony committed suicide. Octavian became the sole ruler of Rome, established rule by emperors and was the first Roman emperor with the tile of Augustus.
