     In 41B.C., Lucius Antony who was Marc Antony's brother knew that landowners were angry to Octavian, and he also hated Octavian because Octavian got strong authority, so he rose up in arms with landowners at Perugia. Then, Sextus Pompeius, one of the anti-Octavian person, had command of the seas, and obstructed Octavian's sea transport. Fulvia who was Marc Antony's wife cooperated Lucius and fulfilled an influented voice.  Lucius Antony managed eight legions.  However, Octavian's general, Agrippa defeated them, and he gained control of Perugia in 40B.C.  After that, Fulvia died, so Octavian planed marriage Octavian's sister, Octavia to Marc Antony.  Moreover, triumviri decided to decide the Roman world.  Octavian got the West Rome, and Marc Antony got the East Rome, and Lepidus got Africa. Their authority became stronger.

     However, Octavian had still some problems.  He had an enemy, Sextus Pompeius who had command of the seas.  Sextus hated Caesarian because Sextus' father had been defeated by Caesar, and died.  Octavian decided to remove Sextus because Sextus obstructed to exchange between Rome and other districts.  Agrippa tried to defeat Sextus, but he suffered a crushing defeats, so Antony sent reinforcements to Octavian.  In 36B.C., Agrippa fought against Sextus again, and attacked Sextus' base, Sicily.  In September 3rd, Agrippa got a decisive victory at the off sea of Naulochus.  Sextus escaped to Eastan, but he died. As the result, Octavian got the command of the seas, and able to bocome transporting crops from Africa.  In this time, Octavian's power exceeded Antony's one.  It was because Antony's territory was so far from the Rome(please refer the map.).  Marc felt crisis.  

     In 33B.C., the Second Triumvirate was finished, so the senate appointed two new consuls.  They were Antony's faction.  Then, Antony and him friends started to criticize Octavian. In addition, Antony divorced Octavia for getting along with Cleopatra, and he wrote in his will that his grave should be built in Egypt, and his successor was Cleopatra's son.  Those gave Roman the wrong impression.  However, he had some reasons.  One was that he really fell in love with Cleopatra.  Another one was Egypt had more rich soil than Rome.  In addition, Antony hated Octavian. It was because Octavian became successor of Caesar, so Antony felt envy.  Opposing with Antony, Octavian gained control the senate, and he also criticized Antony, and banished Antony and his friends form the senate.  They went into Antony's protection.
