Introduction. The Roman politician and general Mark Antony (83â30 B.C.) was an ally of Julius Caesar and the main rival of his successor Octavian (later Augustus). With those two men he was integral to Romeâs transition from republic to empire.
Several reasons led up to the war between Octavian and Antony and Cleopatra, but the main reason was power. Both men were in a power struggle for supremacy in Rome. Antony, by openly entering into a political alliance with Cleopatra played right into Octavian's hands.his was an excuse for fighting against Marc Antony as Octavian knew that he would fight to help Cleopatra. Octavian defeated the Egyptian forces of Cleopatra and Marc Antony's troops. Antony and Cleopatra both committed suicide.
