Previously we talked about the battle of Mutina and its aftermath (https://youtu.be/3Qdi0VUOn3Q) as Octavian, Antony, and Lepidus created a triumvirate, taking over Rome, which signaled to Brutus and Cassius, that there will be another civil war (https://youtu.be/D9duJSBBs14). The latter collected their legions and started building their base of operations, leading to the battles of Xanthos and Rhodes (https://youtu.be/liY-egBx0qQ), and that, in turn lead to the battle of Philippi that would decide the fate of the war between the Caesareans and Pompeians (https://youtu.be/0B83Jk1qB9c). 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 (https://youtu.be/XtXdEjWjA9g). 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 (https://youtu.be/WdBZ61ulasQ). 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 (https://youtu.be/C-yLDW6XMsg). 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.
