The political-military disputes between the heir of Julius Caesar, future Augustus, and the General Marc Antony left indelible marks in the History of the formation of the Roman Empire. Your oppositions, as well your manifestations before the Roman Society, helped in the formation of perspectives about the period, in the creation of memories and forgetfulness that, over the centuries, were transmitted, assimilated and reassimilated, until they reach our present day.

Therefore, the purpose of this article is to briefly highlight some interpretations made about the lives and deaths of Marc Antony and Augustus in some ancient authors, trying to demonstrate that the dispute between them happens, equally, in the way in which one lives and dies.
