J.M. Carter asserted that one participant in this event chose to back himself into a corner, after losing a lieutenant called "the great horse-changer". That man's force had been depleted by malaria, and he was outmaneuvered by his opponent's liburna, which were quicker than his quinqueremes. The victor in this battle learned the loser's battle plans from Dellius, and was led by Arruntius, who oversaw his central galleys. It resulted in the suicides of the two losing commanders. For 10 points, name this 31 BCE battle, in which Octavian's navy defeated those of Marcus Antony and Cleopatra, putting an end to the Roman Republic and ushering in the Roman Empire.
