The Battle of Alexandria was fought on July 31 30 BC between the forces of Octavian and Mark Antony during the final war of the Roman Republic. Although Antony's side was plagued by desertions, he still managed to narrowly win the battle. The desertions continued, however, and, in early August, Octavian launched a second, ultimately successful, invasion of Egypt.
