The pivotal naval engagement between the forces of Octavian and the combined navy of Mark Antony and Cleopatra VII off the coast of Actium in Greece. After suffering badly at the hands of a surrounding Roman force, Antony's forces were routed, fleeing to Egypt where they were ultimately defeated at Alexandria, spurring Antony and Cleopatra to take their own lives and paving the way for Octavian's ascendance as Augustus, first Emperor of the Roman Empire.
