Wrong. Octavian had the lesser part of the deal. Africa was the richest province in the Roman Empire at that time. Also the Easten provinces were rich and Egypt was especially rich in grain and would become essential for the feeding of Italy. Gaul and Italy were poor and Octavian had less legions alotted from getting those areas. What made it an advantage was that Octavian could spend all his time in Rome throwing propaganda about Anthony without Anthony being there and in turn turning the senators on Anthony. Lepidus was an old and well respected commander amongst the senate. It is true however, that he was the lesser part of the Triumvirate in terms of support from the senate and the people as well as claim to Caesar's legacy. And Anthony was an even bigger general. When the army of Lepidus met the army of Anthony the army deserted to Anthony without a single fight cause they were unwilling to fight the most respected veteran commander.

I like to imagine that in some ways the Eastern Roman Empire always existed, it just gained more and more political prestige until Constantine established it as the greater power base. The West was forged in the Samnite and Punic Wars while the East was always a takeover of the Hellenic sphere of influence, which is why the imperial court of the East embraced their heritage as both Greek and Roman, which was fitting because the Romans fell in love with all things Greek.

I definitely think Antony was under the spell of Cleopatra with his weird decisions leading to the defeat at Actium. He did tend to be a maverick which didn't help him but was a tactical genius nevertheless. Octavian though politically astute couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag but had Agrippa which helped him immeasurably. In the end it was for the best as Antony would have been a crap emperor as he loved the east too much and was undisciplined but I have great admiration for him as a commander of men and tactician.

If only Antonius had met Octavian in traditional battle, rather than facing Agrippa who was a seasoned naval general. Though bad morale, lack of senatorial support, sickness and lack of supplies were what ultimately defeated Anthony.
@KingsandGenerals6 жыл бұрын
Antonius had a problem - he was losing his popularity in Italy and didn't want to look like an aggressor. That is why he basically stayed within his "borders".

You have all these unique names like ceasar salad, octavian, Napoleon dynamic, ghengis khan, attila, barabossa, leonadis, xeres. Then you have Mark Anthony. Plain mark anthony like the singer mark anthony. Even richard the lionheart is unique.

I prefer this animation and style of story telling. It’s more streamlined and concise. You also see soldier individually instead of Tetris blocks.

wait a minute both octavian and antony had about 100,000 men yet earlier you claimed octavian had 45 legions under his command. doing the math 45 legions is 225,000 men so octavian left over half his army behind? 25 legions is an insane amount to leave behind, especially considering caesar conquered gaul with about 10
@KingsandGenerals7 жыл бұрын
+Jerec 12 yeah, most of his army was left behind in Italy. He had serious problem with paying and feared desertion. Only took the most loyal legions with himself.

So Cleopatra could've just won the day by attacking the now broken lines from two sides but she decided to just leg it because she was afraid ? Wasn't this suppose to be the fight to decide the fate of the war and the roman republic ? didn't they know they'd have to kill themselves either way later on ?
@Shreendg5 жыл бұрын
Not exactly. The plan was to save the treasure and live to fight for another day. Marcus Antonius was losing men to attrition greatly. He could not win.

The whole purpose of that day was to get the war chest out of actium. The land army actually made it to Macedonia before giving up. Cleopatra's squadron was essentially a bank.

If you have Amazon Prime Video, there is an excellent free docu drama of Octavian with the now deceased Peter O'Toole. It explains it all. Lepidus had control of North Africa, where all the wheat grain was grown and exported to Rome. Unfortunately, Octavian had no money to pay for it, and Lepidus then starved Rome. Octavian always felt he had the support of the common people but with no free bread, rioting occurred almost bringing him down. Marc Anthony refused to give him money as Cleopatra wanted to bring Octavian down. Anthony's failed invasion of Parthia showed his military leadership was failing. The only military genius was Agrippa. Great history.
