More importantly, Antony’s wife Fulvia and her brother Lucius, one of the consuls in 41, were scheming against him. They wanted Antony to have sole power, and so they tried to stir up the resentment of the populace against Octavian. When they went too far, Octavian chased them into Perusia, to which he laid siege. Antony, unaware of what was going on, could not send help, and they were swiftly captured, though Octavian let them go. Fulvia returned to her husband in the East, and Octavian was left in control of the Western provinces. Still, the country was in turmoil and at any time could rise up against him.
