After Julius Caesar's assassination in 44 BCE, power in Rome was contested among several key figures. His adopted heir, Octavian (later known as Augustus), along with Mark Antony and Lepidus, formed the Second Triumvirate to consolidate control. This alliance eventually broke down, leading to a power struggle, culminating in Octavian defeating Antony and Cleopatra at the Battle of Actium in 31 BCE, which paved the way for him to become the first Roman Emperor.
