Augila
An oasis in the Great Desert of Africa, ten days' journey west of the Oasis of Ammon, abounding in date palms. Augustus, Octavianus Caesar. Emperor of Rome, was son of Octavius, a senator, and Accia, sister to Julius Caesar. He was associated in the triumvirate with Antony and Lepidus, and defeated the armies of Brutus and Cassius at Philippi. Octavia, the sister of Augustus, married Antony after the death of his wife Fulvia. Octavia, however, was slighted for the charms of Cleopatra, which incensed Augustus, who took up arms to avenge the wrongs of his sister, and at the great battle of Actium, B. C. 31, the forces c Antony and Cleopatra suffered a disastrous defeat.
