This episode covers 42-36 BCE. Octavian and Antony, not so much Lepidus, begin to put the Roman Republic back together. Octavian manages the West and Antony the East. Along the way Marc Antony meets Cleopatra, loses his wife to jealousy and illness, and gets married again to Octavian's sister Octavia. Caesar also deals with the difficulties of settling his veterans, appeasing the people, and a war instigated by Lucius Antonius--Antony's brother. Caesar calls up his good friend Marcus Agrippa to lead his forces and together they take on Sextus Pompey to solidify Octavian's control of the Roman Republic's West.
