***'''The [[Battle of Actium]]:''' In 31 BCE, [[Octavian]] declared war on [[Marcus Antonius|Antony]] and Cleopatra. Their naval forces met at Actium, where the forces of [[Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa]] defeated the navy of Cleopatra and Antony.
Cleopatra was the last pharaoh of Ancient Egypt who ruled Egypt after her family took over power following the reign of Alexander the Great. She entertained a liaison with the Roman Emperor Julius Caesar and later married Mark Anthony. After the Roman armies defeated Anthony and Cleopatra combined forces at the Battle of Actium, they committed suicide. It appears that Cleopatra followed a tradition by killing herself by way of a cobra bite, though it is believed that the Assassin known as Amunet also played a role in her death. ''[[Assassin's Creed: Initiates]]'' – Timeline: 30 BCE
War with Octavian was now inevitable. Mark Antony lead his fleet alongside Cleopatra. The decisive battle took place in western Greece in September, 31 BC. Octavian is said to have given a particularly violent and xenophobic speech to his troops before the battle.[48] He referred to Cleopatra as "an accursed Egyptian woman" who "worships reptiles and beasts as gods", and who transformed Roman knights and Senators into eunuchs. Mark Antony and his supporters were presented as slaves, devoid of all masculinity, softened by all the years they'd spent living with Eastern customs. When it came to naval warfare, Mark Antony and Cleopatra were quickly outmatched.[49] Abandoning the majority of their vessels,[50] they fled, returning to Egypt.[51] They knew that Octavian and his troops would land sooner or later to claim total victory. His arrival in Alexandria in early August, 30 BC divided the royal couple.''[[Echoes of History]] – Behind the Legends'' – Episode 2: Cleopatra
Octavian managed his own propaganda campaign, and succeeded. The Roman people hated Mark Antony and Cleopatra. To avoid the censure still inherent in attacking a fellow Roman, Octavian simply declared war against Egypt. Rome's power still reigned supreme. The powerful Egyptian fleet, led by Cleopatra as well as Mark Antony's forces, were defeated in 31 BCE in Actium. Octavian arrived in Egypt in 30 BCE, to formalize his victory.''[[Discovery Tour: Ancient Egypt]]'' – [[Tours: Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt]]: "War with Rome"
