	Actium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Actium belonged originally to the Corinthian colonists of Anactorium, who probably founded the worship of Apollo Actius and the Actia games; in the 3rd century B.C. it fell to the Acarnanians, who subsequently held their synods there.
		Actium is chiefly famous as the site of Caesar Augustus' decisive victory over Mark Antony (September 2 31 B.C. This battle ended a long series of ineffectual operations.
		The final conflict was provoked by Antony, who is said to have been persuaded by Cleopatra VII to retire to Egypt and give battle to mask his retreat; but lack of provisions and the growing demoralization of his army would eventually account for this decision.

	Encyclopedia: Battle of Actium
		The Battle of Actium was a naval battle of the Roman Civil War between Mark Antony and Octavian.
		It was fought on September 2, 31 BC, near the Roman colony of Actium in Greece (near the modern-day city of Preveza), on the Ionian Sea.
		The battle was won by the forces of Octavian, whose victory led him to become the Princeps Augustus, later considered to be the first Roman Emperor: for this reason the date of the battle is often used to mark the end of the Roman Republic and the beginning of the Roman Empire.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 96.9.7
		Actium and Augustus displays an enviable control of Roman history, numismatics, archaeology, art history, topography, and literature pertaining to the topic at hand: how to read events in the wake of the battle at Actium.
		Rather than seeing the triumphs as separate events and the Actian triumph as the climax of the tripartite celebration, Gurval argues that the three-day ceremony should be viewed as one grandiose event, honoring Augustus' victories on land and sea, victories that ultimately led to the conquest of the world and the restoration of peace.
		In short, by incorporating nuanced details in their descriptions of the battle of Actium, Horace and Propertius are said to underscore the shame and tragedy of civil war that rendered Octavian's defeat of Antony and Cleopatra inglorious.

		The combatants are well known: on the one side there was Marcus Antonius, Kleopatra VII, and various Kings and Princes from the Eastern Mediterranean; on the other was Octavian, his admiral Agrippa, and as Octavian once wrote, ‘tota Italia’ -- ‘all Italy’ -- who took his side rather than watch a woman march on Rome”.
		The battle concluded a summer-long war between the two forces in the region of Greece and resulted in a crushing defeat for Antony's side, said Murray, “The Battle of Actium is one of those rare events that marked a ‘turning point’ in world history.
		Guided by the results of extensive sonar surveys conducted in the battle zone, Murray is carrying out underwater excavations to retrieve the catapult balls that he has discovered lie 3 km.

	Christopher Nappa: Reading after Actium, University of Michigan Press
		Reading after Actium is a study of Vergil's Georgics, a didactic poem ostensibly about farming but in fact a brilliant exercise challenging readers to develop a broader perspective on the basic problems and the dangers of human life.
		Octavian is treated as one of the poet's students and given the opportunity to learn lessons in handling power, in controlling Rome's vast resources, and in preventing the bloody cycle of civil war from beginning again.
		Reading after Actium provides an introduction to the history of scholarship surrounding the Georgics and the political questions surrounding Octavian and his career.
