Octavian was the first Roman emperor, reigning from 27 BC until his death in AD 14. Founder of the Roman Principate (the first phase of the Roman Empire) he was one of the most effective leaders in human history. During the on-going conflict with Antony and Cleopatra, Octavian pursued and defeated their forces in Alexandria in 30 BC, following which Antony committed suicide, by falling on his own sword.

RMW9HKT6–Marcus Antonius (83 BC – 30 BCE), aka Mark Antony, was a Roman politician and general who played a critical role in the transformation of the Roman Republic from an oligarchy into the autocratic Roman Empire. Antony supported Julius Caesar and was appointed administrator of Italy while Caesar eliminated his political opponents. After Caesar's death in 44 BC, Antony joined forces with Marcus Aemilius Lepidus, another of Caesar's generals, and Octavian, Caesar's great-nephew and adopted son, forming a three-man dictatorship known as the Second Triumvirate.

RMW9HMAW–The romance between Antony and Cleopatra began when Cleopatra sailed up the River Cydnus, now the Berdan in Mersin Province, south Turkey. She lay under a canopy of cloth of gold, dressed as Venus in her barge 'with gilded stern and outspread sails of purple, while oars of silver beat time to the music of flutes and fifes and harps.' Their relationship might have changed the world, if Antony had succeeded in winning sole control of Rome with Cleopatra as his queen. However, their relationship ended in mutual suicide in 30 BC, eleven years after it started.
