Chapter 17: Successes and Failures of Antony and Octavian

Antony and Octavian had control of the Republic between them; Antony ruled the Eastern Republic, and Octavian the West.  However, each had their own challenges in their territory: Antony was going to invade Parthia, and Octavian had to eliminate the rogue Sextus Pompey; would they succeed, or would they fail?

Our essential question to keep in mind throughout the episode is: Who is the most powerful politician in the Republic?

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have an always will do this for fun, and do not seek to make any profit, and use media to elevate education (without outdated memes and references) through transformative means.
