The suicides of Marc Antony came at the end of the last civil war of the Roman Republic. This was a fight between Marc Antony and Octavian over who would be the sole ruler of Rome and her territories. Following this, Octavian established his personal absolute rule and became the first Roman Emperor. This started the 503-year of rule by emperor. When Octavian became emperor he was given the title of Augustus. Historians use the name Augustus for the period when Octavian was emperor. Therefore, the death of Marc Antony and Cleopatra were part of the process which led to the end of the Roman Republic.
