| Summary: | The risks of fragmentation of the Roman Empire were very high at the time of the Civil Wars. From 49 to 31 B.C., the command of the seas and the future of the empire were associated to political events. Pompeius first took the control of the Otrant channel. But Caesar was soon successful in crossing this channel in winter with his troops and was victorious at Pharsale. After his victory over Sextus Pompeius in Sicily in 36, Octavius caught maritime superiority over Antonius in 31. Then he established a new unity of the empire and founded colonies along the coasts to control maritime communications. |
