Answer 2

Answers: 2. Octavian successfully invaded Egypt, causing his rival Mark Antony to kill himself.

                1. Julius Caesar named Octavian as his heir.

Explanation: The only thing saving Antony was Egypt, once Octavian took it over; and named it a Roman province. It was over, his legions couldn't fend off Octavian's men. And being heir is just a direct line of succession to get your beep in the beauty seat. Also fun fact, when Octavian came back into Rome, he actually denied the crown of the Emperor. It's not that he didn't want it, he feared that people would fear him. However he was crowned anyway, and was the first Emperor of the newly made, Roman Empire. "Yay! beep Democracy!"
