How did Octavian take power away from Marc Anthony?

Answer 1

He took away Marc Anthony's power by defeating both him and cleo patra in the battle of Actium

But Actium was the culmination of 13 years of chipping away at Antony's reputation. Octavian was a natural politician and when Antony insulted him upon their first meeting and showed no sign of remorse, Octavian went to work making political allies, gaining an army, and in general building his own reputation. He became one of the triumvirs, won military battles with the aid of Marcus Agrippa, and had the general backing of the people of Rome and Italy in his war against Cleopatra.

Answer 2

Augustus became the most powerful leader in Rome by defeating Mark Antony and his ally, Cleopatra VII of Egypt, in the Final Civil War of the Roman Republic (32-30 BC). With this victory he gained control of all the legions of the Roman army. The spoils of war of the five civil wars he fought in the final years of the republic made him immensely rich, even richer than the state treasury. He also had an extensive network of patronage throughout the empire. He used this power to establish himself as an absolute ruler, becoming the first Roman emperor and establishing the system of rule by emperors, and to turn the senate into an instrument for his rule.

Answer 3

He already controlled the Western Roman Empire after eliminating Antony he controlled it all and was able to cut a deal with the Senate to share power and so stabilise the Empire.
