​

Answer 1

Answer:

Mark Antony and Octavian

In his will Caesar had bequeathed his wealth and title to his posthumously adopted son Octavian. Antony was reluctant to hand his old friend's legacy to a 17-year-old, and quickly became a rival to the future emperor. In 43 B.C. their armies first clashed.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Roman politician and general Mark Antony (83–30 B.C.) or Marcus Antonius, was an ally of Julius Caesar and the main rival of his successor Octavian (later Augustus). With those two men he was integral to Rome's transition from republic to empire.
