Kings and Generals' historical animated documentary series on the history of Rome continues with an episode of the post-Caesar Civil Wars, as we look at what happened after the initial shock of Caesar's assassination. Previously we talked about the battle of Mutina and its aftermath (   • Post-Caesar Civil Wars - Battle of Mu...  ) as Octavian, Antony, and Lepidus created a triumvirate, taking over Rome, which signaled to Brutus and Cassius, that there will be another civil war (   • Octavian and Antony: the Monsters - P...  ). The latter collected their legions and started building their base of operations, leading to the battles of Xanthos and Rhodes (   • Battles of Xanthos and Rhodes - Post-...  ), and that, in turn lead to the battle of Philippi that would decide the fate of the war between the Caesareans and Pompeians (   • Battle of Philippi - Post-Caesar Civi...  ). After Philippi, Octavian and Antony basically divided Rome between them. In this episode we will see what was happening in the western part in 41-40 BC as Octavian had to deal with a number of enemies and crises, which culminated at the Perusian War where Caesar's heir was forced to fight Antony's wife Fulvia and his brother Lucius (   • Perusine War - Octavian in Crisis - P...  ). On the other side of the Roman realm, Parthian-Pompeian alliance led by prince Pacorus and Quintus Labienus invaded and forced Antony and his lieutenant Publius Ventidius Bassus to defend in West Asia in 40 BC (   • Pompeian–Parthian invasion of Rome - ...  ). Back west Octavian finally decided to attack Sextus Pompey in order to take over Sicily leading to a number of battles, most notable among them at Mylae in 36 BC (   • Octavian Attacks Pompey - Mylae 36 BC...  ). Despite early setbacks, the campaign against Sicily continued with the help of Lepidus, and the victory at Naulochus allowed Octavian to defeat two of his enemies in one campaign - both Sextus Pompey and Lepidus (   • Octavian Defeats Two Enemies In One C...  ). Meanwhile, to the east, Antony was planning to invade Parthia for a variety of reasons and we will see how the Parthians defeated the Romans yet again, after Crassus' disaster at Carrhae, during the disastrous Parthia - Atropatene campaign (   • How the Parthians Defeated the Romans...  ). Antony's defeat allowed Octavian to continue consolidating power and in this video we will see how they became enemies, as Octavian started anti-Cleopatra propaganda and how the last war of the Roman Republic began, leading to the battle of Actium.
