Octavian's Propaganda made Cleopatra well known and despised. Before the final break between Antony and Octavian, Cleopatra was nothing but a minor, insignificant queen. Her country, though, was wealthy and she could well afford to back Antony and his army. Octavian was aware of this, and he was also aware of the fact that Antony had many supporters in Rome. In order to get his own backing, Octavian launched a propaganda war, not so much against Antony, but against Cleopatra. (The propaganda war went two ways, Antony also had his propaganda mill going too)
