Augustus, or Octavian, as he was known at the time, had the senate declare war against Cleopatra, but in reality he was going to war against Antony. To understand this, you have to know a little of the background. Octavian and Antony never really got along from day one. They formed a political alliance, but it was a rocky one, with each man jostling for power until it came to the point of war. However, Octavian had to be careful that when he asked the senate to declare war, it was not a civil war, which it would be if he declared war on Antony. So he had them to declare war on Cleopatra, a foreigner.
