Initially Octavian's enemies were the murderers of his adoptive father Julius Caesar - Cassius, Casca, Brutus etc. When they had been defeated with Marc Antony's help, Octavian, Antony and Lepidus formed a Triumvirate and each took part of the Empire, in the process having their remaining opponents of the anti-Caesar party executed in order to get their property and raise money. When Octavian and Antony fell out, another civil war erupted, ending in Antony's defeat and suicide and leaving Octavian in undisputed control. Octavian called himself Augustus and 'reestablished the Republic', though it was a different one, with the popular assemblies neutered, magistracies distributed by him, and him pulling the strings in the Senate. This brought further opposition from the dyed-in-the-wool republicans in the aristocracy, however with Augustus in charge of the armies, having lifelong personal immunity, and appointing the important provincial governors, there was not enough leverage for them to give effect to their enmity.
