Italy and Spain, and Africa fell to Lepidus.

Octavius tried to establish order in Italy, but many obstacles were to
be overcome. Sextus Pompeius, who had escaped from Munda, was in
command of a strong naval force. He controlled a large part of the
Mediterranean, and, by waylaying the corn ships bound for Rome,
exposed the city to great danger from famine. Octavius was obliged to
raise a fleet and meet this danger. At first he was defeated by
Pompey, but later, in 36, in the great sea fight off NAULOCHUS in
Sicily, the rebel was overcome. He fled to Asia with a few followers,
but was taken prisoner at Milétus by one of the lieutenants of Antony,
and put to death.

Lepidus now claimed Sicily as a part of his province, and an equal
share in the government of the Roman world with the other Triumvirs.
But his soldiers were induced to desert him, and he was obliged to
surrender to Octavius. His life was spared, but he was deprived of his
power and provinces. He lived twenty years longer (until 13), but
ceased to be a factor in public affairs. Having rid themselves of all
rivals, Octavius and Antony redivided the Empire, the former taking
the West, the latter the East.

Antony now repaired to Alexandría, and surrendered himself to the
fascinations of the famous Cleopátra. He assumed the habits and dress
of an Eastern monarch, and by his senseless follies disgusted his
friends and supporters. He resigned himself to luxury and idleness,
and finally divorced himself from his wife Octavia, sister of
Octavius, disregarding his good name and the wishes of his friends.
Thus gradually he became more and more estranged from Octavius, until
finally the rupture resulted in open war.
