Chapter 18: Antony, Octavian, and Actium

Antony’s and Octavian’s relationship had drastically changed over the years.  Once enemies, they had become allies.  However, their antagonizations of each other flared up again.  The two would meet at Actium, to settle their differences.  Their meeting, had quite the effect on the Roman Republic, the Roman Empire, and history…

Our essential question to keep in mind throughout the episode is: What events led up to Actium, and what would happen after Actium?

Death of the Roman Republic (DOTRR) is an educational podcast, and any clips from other media is used to transform and elevate its educational content, using modern media to help people relate to a 2000 year old story. (Speaking as a not-Fair Use expert), DOTRR seeks to use Fair Use, in transforming media clips used for educational purposes, and in that Death of the Roman Republic will never make a profit (no advertisements, Patreon, etc.).  

*2024 update - Google Podcasts is apparently shutting down, I am attempting to upload to podcast to Spotify.  Fingers crossed this works, I nonetheless have an always will do this for fun, and do not seek to make any profit, and use media to elevate education (without outdated memes and references) through transformative means.
