In 54, their alliance crumbled. Pompey and the Senate ordered Caesar to give up his command in Gaul and return to Rome. In 49, Caesar marched back to Rome and crossed the Rubicon River, declaring war on Rome. During the war, Pompey fled to Egypt where he was killed by King Ptolemy. In 45 BC, Caesar passed laws without consulting the Senate. Caesar’s actions enraged the Senate and a conspiracy formed against him. Caesar was stabbed to death in 44 BC. Upon Caesar’s death, Octavian was identified as Caesar’s adopted son and heir. Octavian and Marc Antony, Caesar’s political partner and friend, struggled for supremacy. At the Battle of Mutina in 43 BC, the Senate and Octavian fought and defeated Marc Antony. Antony and Octavian formed an alliance and planned to take vengeance on the assassins of Julius Caesar. The conspirators were caught and executed in 42 BC. Octavian and Antony divided the Roman empire between them through a number of treaties signed in 39 and 37. Hostility between Octavian and Marc Antony grew through the coming years and in 31, Octavian declared war against Marc Antony. The war was quickly decided when Octavian defeated Marc Antony and Cleopatra at the battle of Actium in 31. From 31 to 27, Octavian was consul of Rome. He offered to return his power to the Senate, but the Senators would not allow him. In 27, Octavian renounced all his powers. In response, between 27 and 24, the Senate made Octavian the most powerful man in Rome, bestowing upon him the title of Augustus. Name________________________ Date_____________Class________
