New disputes between Octavianus and Antonius.

The latter pre- sented Cleopatra with Roman territory, and sent his wife Octavia, the sister of Octavianus, papers of separation.

Octavianus procured a popular decree removing Antonius from his command and declaring war upon Cleopatra.

During the long delay of Antonius and Cleopatra in Ephesus, Athens, and at Patrce in Achaia, Octavianus completed his preparations and transported his army to Epirus.
