Why Octavian Blockaded Instead of Storming

On September 2, 31 BC, one of the most important battles in history took place off the coast of Greece. 

The forces of Octavian, the posthumously adopted son of Julius Caesar, squared off against the forces of Mark Antony, the former right-hand man of Julius Caesar. 

After having been partners in ruling Rome for years, the two developed irreconcilable differences that had to be resolved on the battlefield. 

The outcome of the battle influenced the course of the Roman Empire for centuries.
