What happened 32 AD

Ban Gu, the co-author of the Book of Han, is born.

During the spring of 32 BC, Antony and Cleopatra traveled to Samos and then Athens, where Cleopatra was reportedly well-received.

Antony was still fundamentally reliant on Cleopatra for military support. The couple traveled together to Ephesus in 32 BC, where Cleopatra provided him with 200 naval ships of the 800 total he was able to acquire.

The War of Actium was the last civil war of the Roman Republic, fought between Mark Antony (assisted by Cleopatra) and Octavian. In 32 BC, Octavian convinced the Roman Senate to declare war on the Egyptian queen Cleopatra.

The triumvirate ended in 32 BC, torn apart by the competing ambitions of its members.
