A good argument could be made that the Battle of Actium was the
most significant military engagement in Roman history. On a bright
September day, the naval forces of Octavian clashed with those of
Antony and Cleopatra off the coast of western Greece. The victory
Octavian enjoyed that day set the state for forty-four years of
what would come to be known as the Augustan Peace, and was in no
small way the dawn of the Roman Empire. Yet, despite its
significance, what exactly happened at Actium has been a mystery,
despite significant labours and effort on the part of many
classicists and military historians both amateur and professional.
Professor Lee Fratantuono re-examines the ancient evidence and
presents a compelling and solidly documented account of what took
place in the waters off the promontory of Leucas in late August and
early September of 31 B.C.
