- Oppose. There is no commonly accepted name, but Antony's civil war is not a common one. The War between Antony and Octavian is probably best. The Battle of Actium alone has a higher profile than the "war". It is also commonly lumped together as "the civil wars". --Dhartung | Talk 06:47, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
- You are right, but "Final war of the Roman Republic" is not better, so there was no reason to move Antony's civil war to Final war of the Roman Republic.--Semioli 11:03, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Discussion
- Add any additional comments
Can you really call this war Antony's Civil War? Sure, Octavian's intent was to create a civil war between himself and Octavian, but the Roman Senate declared war on Cleopatra. Antony just happen to fight in a foreign war that became a civil war. While I think that the title may be a little long, it was the final war of the Republic. "Antony's Civil War" carries the idea that Antony started the war which happen to be a civil war. One example is Caesar's civil war. That article is properlly named because Caesar actually started a war with its intent to be a civil war.
I support a change in the article's title, but not to Antony's Civil War.
- Whatever. My point is that the previous change was unilateral and disputable, and should be reverted. Then we can discuss the best name.--Semioli 11:01, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
- Isn't this called the episode in the Civil War called the Ptolemaic War? Dr Zak 03:48, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge?
Considering that this "war" consisted of a single naval battle, why is this article seperate from the Battle of Actium? - Vedexent 17:06, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merge Proposal
For anyone not aware of the fact, this article has been under a merge proposal for some time. Since there have been no objections, or debates, I propose that it be merged in 1 week, barring any vigorous debate - Vedexent (talk) - 07:19, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Oppose Merge
While the Battle of Actium did bring an end to major hostilities, it was not the end of the war. After Octavian's victory, he marched his troops to Alexandria the year later, where he placed the city under seige. He engaged in a small battle for the seige, defeating the remainder of Anthony's troops. Following the seige and Cleopatra's surrender and suicide, Octavian returned to Rome and declared an end to the war. - Rougher07 23:44, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
