Mark Antony, Triumvir and Imperator, 44 - 30 B.C.
|Marc| |Antony|, |Mark| |Antony,| |Triumvir| |and| |Imperator,| |44| |-| |30| |B.C.|, In the spring of 32 B.C., Mark Antony transferred his headquarters from Samos to Athens, where he assembled a fleet of 500 combat vessels and 300 transport ships, crewed by 150,000 men. In July, the Roman Senate declared war upon Mark Antony and Cleopatra VII. Octavian forced the high priest of the Vestal Virgins to hand over Antony's will, which turned Roman-conquered territories into kingdoms and planned a tomb in Alexandria for Antony and Cleopatra. Octavian was proclaimed dux and the Gallic and Spanish provinces, Africa, Sicily and Sardinia swear an oath (sacramentum) of loyalty to him. In the winter of 32 B.C., Antony distributed garrisons along the west coast of Greece, stationed the fleet at Actium and established his headquarters at Patrae.
