I've consulted Ronald Symes work, ' The Fall of the Roman Republic'. Symes ( Cambridge) is a leading authority on the period.

He admits, it is impossible from the extant records,to say exactly what happened at Actium, it is apparent though that the greater part of Anthony's fleet did not give battle but returned to port. All we can be certain of is, that Anthony did escape with Forty Ships, following Cleopatra back to Egypt.
