The '''Battle of Actium''' took place on September 2, 31 B.C. in the waters off Acarnania, [[Greece]], in which a Roman naval force under [[Octavian]] scored a decisive victory over an Egyptian fleet under the command of Queen [[Cleopatra]] VII and the Roman triumvir [[Mark Antony]]. The battle would prove to be the last one in a short civil war between Octavian and renegade forces under Antony.
