Years: 31BCE - 31BCE
August
Antony moves his headquarters from Athens to Patras.
As he loses more ground, the morale of his advisers and fighting forces deteriorates, a process aided by Cleopatra's insistence on being present at his headquarters against the wishes of many of his leading Roman supporters, thus providing Octavian with fresh propaganda fuel.
Because of this lack of unity and the inexperience of Antony's crews, the decisive battle is lost before it ever begins.
