After the assassination of Julius Caesar Rome broke into civil war with Octavian leading one faction, and Anthony leading the other. Eventually Octavian defeated Anthony and declared himself Emperor under the name Augustus Caesar. __________________________________________________________________ Mark Antony, Octavian, and Lepidus formed the Second Triumvirate. Mark Antony marries Octavian's sister, Octavia. He plans to take over all of Rome and leave Octavian in the dust (or dead). Mark Antony, a party type, goes off to Egypt. There, he falls in love with the Pharaoh, Cleopatra. They have an affair, and Octavian uses this as a tactic to turn the public against Mark Antony (the Romans hate Cleopatra). Using this gossip, he convinces the people that Mark Antony has been "put under a spell" by Cleopatra, and uses this as an excuse to start a war against him. At the Battle of Action (A naval battle), Mark Antony and Cleopatra's forces are defeated, and they both commit suicide. Octavian takes power, and rechristens himself Caesar Augustus.

Will Antony or Octavius take charge of the campaign against their enemies?
His name was Octavian....not Octavius. After Julius Caesar was assassinated, Mark Anthony made a speech that riled the public up, created a near riot, and forced the conspirators from the city of Rome. They put together an army and were hunted down by Mark Anthony. This is one of those too many questions here which seem to be asked by people who already know the answer, so I'm not sure what your point for the question is. After the conspirators and their armies were disposed, Lepidus, Mark Anthony and Octavian formed what was known as the 2nd Roman triumvirate, and ruled together for a time. Lepidus was essentially bought out, and friction began between Anthony and Octavian. Things came to a head when Anthony shacked up and settled in with Egyptian ruler Cleopatra (especially since Anthony was already married to Octavian's sister. But the bigger concern was that he'd consider Cleopatra his wife, and try and take over the Roman Empire. Wasn't far from the truth, Cleopatra was looking to marry Anthony to become the queen not just of Egypt, but of Rome. The story of how all that worked out has been told over and over, and doesn't need to be repeated here. When Octavian was crowned the first Roman emperor (Julius Caesar was elected dictator for life, was Rom's last "elected" head of state, and was never an emperor), he took the name of Augustus.
