 | | The lack of explicit evidence linking the Apollo temple to Octavian's victory, either at Actium or Naulochus, does not, to my mind, prove that the temple was unrelated to victory in war. | | | One of the hallmarks of Augustus' regime from the start was his support of traditional cults. | | | To counter this, Gurval suggests that the founding of Nicopolis addressed the political and economic disarray in this area which had been devastated during the Macedonian wars and now lacked any central government once the Acarnanian and Aetolian leagues ceased to exist. |

| | Actium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | On the promontory was an ancient temple of Apollo Actius, which was enlarged by Augustus, who also, in memory of the battle, instituted or renewed the quinquennial games called Actia or Ludi Actiaci. | | | Actium belonged originally to the Corinthian colonists of Anactorium, who probably founded the worship of Apollo Actius and the Actia games; in the 3rd century B.C. it fell to the Acarnanians, who subsequently held their synods there. | | | The final conflict was provoked by Antony, who is said to have been persuaded by Cleopatra VII to retire to Egypt and give battle to mask his retreat; but lack of provisions and the growing demoralization of his army would eventually account for this decision. |

| | The combatants are well known: on the one side there was Marcus Antonius, Kleopatra VII, and various Kings and Princes from the Eastern Mediterranean; on the other was Octavian, his admiral Agrippa, and as Octavian once wrote, ‘tota Italia’ -- ‘all Italy’ -- who took his side rather than watch a woman march on Rome”. | | | The battle concluded a summer-long war between the two forces in the region of Greece and resulted in a crushing defeat for Antony's side, said Murray, “The Battle of Actium is one of those rare events that marked a ‘turning point’ in world history. | | | “It has been said that ancient accounts were seriously exaggerated, that no great battle occurred at Actium, and that the battle was "the foundation myth of the Roman Empire,&; said Murray. |
