Excerpts from Books and Wikipedia
Anthony and Cleopatra were defeated at the Battle of Actium on the west coast of Greece. Antony and Cleopatra broke through Agrippa's naval blockade to return to Egypt but without their 300 warships. Both committed suicide in Egypt. She was the last of the Ptolemaic dynasty. [Furtado: 1001 Days] The Ptolemaic Kingdom was the Hellenistic kingdom based in Egypt; it was the last remaining independent state associated with the Roman Republic. Octavian spread propaganda that Mark Antony was controlled by Cleopatra. Mark Anthony expected Octavian to attack by land from Epirus in the North, but Agrippa led a naval assault against Methone far to the south threatening Antony's supply line.
