Octavian did not necessarily want to kill Marc Antony. He wanted to wage war against him because the two men were locked into a fight over who would become the sole ruler of Rome and her territories. He did not want to be seen as wanting war with Marc Antony. Therefore, he declared war on Cleopatra VII of Egypt, Marc Antony's lover and ally, knowing that Antony would join the war to defend her.

When did Cleopatra betrayed Antony?

We know that she may have betrayed him by sending the false death report. Because she knew Antony very well, she knew that if he thought she were dead, he would do the honorable thing as a Roman and kill himself, or escape from the city, leaving her free to negotiate with Octavian. However, months before Octavian entered the city, it was said that she sent messages secretly to Octavian. After Antony's death, in the interview with Octavian, she tried to put all the blame for the war on Antony.
