Livy, Periochae 131-135
Titus Livius or Livy (59 BCE - 17 CE): Roman historian, author of the authorized version of the history of the Roman republic.
A large part of Livy's History of Rome since the Foundation is now lost, but fortunately we have an excerpt, called the Periochae, which helps us reconstruct the general scope. This translation was made by Jona Lendering.
From Book 132 |

[132.1] Caesar subdued the Dalmatians in Illyricum. |

[132.2] [33] When Mark Antony, because of his love for Cleopatra, with whom he had two sons (Philadelphus and Alexander), did neither want to come to the city nor lay down his powers when term of the triumvirate had ended, but instead prepared for war against the city and Italy, and gathered for this purpose as many naval as land forces, [32] and sent a letter of divorce to Octavia, Caesar's sister, [31] Caesar crossed to Epirus with an army. |

[132.3] After this, an account is given of the naval and equestrian battles, in which Caesar was victorious. |
