Let's say Augustus (the Octavian) lost his war against Anthony. Anthony, being an ineffective politician, fails to hold the Republic together, and civil war breaks out again. This civil war is long enough and protracted enough that eventually different areas of Rome develop, each claiming the title of the Republic.
Which areas would form?
Who would control each area?
Would anyone eventually be able to reconquer the Republic?
If not, how would this affect history?
