Octavian, later known as Augustus, became the emperor of Egypt after Cleopatra. He defeated Cleopatra and her lover Mark Antony in the Battle of Actium in 31 BC, which marked the end of the Ptolemaic dynasty and the beginning of Roman rule in Egypt.
The Battle of Actium (September 2, 31 B.C.E. ) was a fight for the control of the Roman Empire and led to disaster. Because Cleopatra's money built the fleet and supported it, she insisted on fighting at sea. When she fled from the battle with the war chest, Antony had little choice but to follow.After Actium, Cleopatra tried to negotiate with Octavian for the recognition of her children as her successors in Egypt. But such recognition would cost her-Octavian demanded Antony's death. Cleopatra refused. After the final battle outside Alexandria on August 1, 30 B.C.E. , Octavian's troops defeated Antony. After receiving a false report that Cleopatra was already dead, he stabbed himself. Antony died in Cleopatra's arms inside her mausoleum (tomb), where she had barricaded herself with the treasures of the Ptolemies to keep them from Octavian.Tricked into surrendering herself, Cleopatra tried again to negotiate with Octavian. Cleopatra was refused. She then carefully planned her own death. On August 10, after paying last honors to Antony, she retired to her quarters for a final meal. How Cleopatra died is not known, but on her left arm two tiny pricks were found, presumably from the bite of an asp (a snake).
