If you are speaking of Gaius Octavius Thurinus, the adopted son of Julius Ceasar, then his first wifes name was Clodia Pulchra, whom he divorced. His second wifes name was Scribonia, daughter of Lucius Scribonius Libo. Scribonia bore Octavian's only natural daughter, Julia, who was born the same day he divorced Scribonia to marry Livia Drusilla. FYI Augustus was not part of his legal given name, it was a handle or title (as is Ceasar) attached to his persona, it actually means "horrific", or "terrible". The man had 300 senators and politicans put to death, and pillaged and burned an entire village for opposing him on a matter concerning the divorce of one of his wives.

Assuming you mean Marcus Junius Brutus, one of Julius Caesar's assassins, then he had two wives. His first wife was Claudia Pulchra. He was married to her for about ten years before he divorced her suddenly to marry his second wife. His second wife was Porcia Catonis, his first cousin. Porcia is better known as she was the daughter of Cato and Brutus' wife during the assassination of Caesar. She died between 43/42 BC.

The emperors of the Julio- Claudian family belonged to the gens Claudia (Julius family, or Julii) and the gens Claudia (Claudius family or Claudii). These two aristocratic families were tightly intertwined through marriages between the sons of Livia Drusilla, the wife of Augustus, and Augustus' sister, daughter and granddaughter.
The first emperor, Augustus, belonged to the Julii because he was adopted by Julius Caesar. His wife was Livia Drusilla, was a Claudii. She was the daughter of Marcus Livius Drusus Claudianus, a Claudii. Her first marriage was with her cousin Nero Claudius Drusus, also a Claudii.
The second emperor, Tiberius, was a Claudii. He was the son of Livia Drusilla and Tiberius Claudius Nero. He married Julia the Elder, Augustus' only natural child (from a previous marriage) and was later adopted by Augustus and became a member of the Julii as well.
The third emperor, Caligula, was both a Julii and a Claudii. His mother was Vipsania Agrippina (or Agrippina the Elder) the second granddaughter of Augustus and his father was Germanicus, the second son of Livia Drusilla and son Nero Claudius Drusus.
The fourth emperor, Claudius was a Claudii. He was the youngest son of Livia Drusilla and Nero Claudius Drusus. He also had a connection with the Julii. His maternal grandmother was Octavia the Younger, daughter of the niece of Julius Caesar and biological sister of Augustus and his mother was Antonia the Younger, the niece of Augustus.
The fifth emperor, Nero, was the son of Agrippina the Younger, the daughter of Agrippina the Elder, the daughter of Julia the Elder, the only natural child of Augustus (from his marriage with Scribonia) and sister of Caligula. His father, Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus, was the only son of Antonia the Elder, the other niece of Augustus
A look at the female side of the families illustrates the tight interrelation between the two families:
Julius the Elder:the only biological child of Augustus, stepsister of Tiberius when his mother Livia married Augustus, wife of Tiberius when he was forced to marry her, mother of Julia the Younger and Agrippina the Elder, grandmother of Agrippina the Younger, and Caligula, great grandmother of Nero.
Octavia Minor.: a niece of Augustus, sister-in-law of Tiberius, paternal grandmother of Caligula and Agrippina the Younger, mother of Claudius, and both maternal great-grandmother and paternal great-aunt of the Nero.
Agrippina the Elder: second granddaughter of Augustus, step niece of Tiberius when Livia married Augustus and step daughter of Tiberius when he was forced to marry his mother Julia the Elder, mother of Caligula, maternal second cousin Claudius and sister-in-law of Claudius, mother of Caligula and the maternal grandmother of Nero.
Agrippina the Younger:a great-granddaughter of Augustus, great-niece and adoptive granddaughter of Tiberius, sister of Caligula, niece and fourth wife of Claudius, and mother of Nero.

Marcus Antonius (Mark Antony) was born in Rome in 83 B.C. He was related on his mother's side to Julius Caesar. He was from a prominent noble family and served under Caesar in Gaul (53-50 B.C.).
Mark Antony went to Rome to become tribune of the plebs in 49 B.C. He was expelled from the senate and fled back to the Roman Army. The following year he led the left-wing of Caesar's army at Pharsalia. After defeating Pompey, he was left to govern Italy during Caesar's absence in Africa.
When Julius Caesar returned to Rome he appointed 300 of his supporters as members of the Senate. Although the Senate and Public Assembly still met, it was Caesar who now made all the important decisions. By 44 BC Caesar was powerful enough to declare himself dictator for life. Although in the past Roman leaders had become dictators in times of crisis, no one had taken this much power.
Caesar began wearing long red boots. As the ancient kings used to wear similar boots, rumours began to spread that Caesar planned to make himself king. Caesar denied these charges but the Roman people, who had a strong dislike of the kingship system, began to worry about the way Caesar was dominating political life.
Rumours began to spread that Julius Caesar planned to make himself king. Plutarch wrote: "What made Caesar hated was his passion to be king." Caesar denied these charges but the Roman people, who had a strong dislike of the kingship system, began to worry about the way Caesar made all the decisions. Even his friends complained that he was no longer willing to listen to advice. Finally, a group of senators decided to kill Caesar.
Even some of Caesar's closest friends were concerned about his unwillingness to listen to advice. Eventually, a group of 60 men, including Marcus Brutus, rumoured to be one of Caesar's illegitimate sons, decided to assassinate Caesar.
Plans were made to carry out the assassination in the Senate just three days before he was due to leave for Parthia. When Julius Caesar arrived at the Senate a group of senators gathered round him.Publius Servilius Casca stabbed him from behind. Caesar looked round for help but now the rest of the group pulled out their daggers. One of the first men Caesar saw was Brutus and was reported to have declared, "You too, my son." Caesar knew it was useless to resist and pulled his toga over his head and waited for the final blows to arrive.
At Caesar's funeral, Mark Antony was chosen to give the eulogy. During his speech, he removed the toga from Caesar's body to show the crowd the stab wounds, pointing at each one naming with men who had struck the blows. However, Cicero later commented: "Caesar subjected the Roman people to oppression... Is there anyone, except Mark Antony who did not wish for his death or who disapproved of what was done?... Some didn't know of the plot, some lacked courage, others the opportunity. None lacked the will."
Mark Antony also published Caesar's will which revealed that he had left 300 sesterces to every man in Rome. Caesar also stated in his will that his impressive gardens were to become parks for the people who lived in the city. This action helped Mark Antony to gain political influence over the people of Rome.
At various periods between 49 and 47 Mark Antony administered Italy when Julius Caesar was absent. He was therefore well-placed to assume leadership of the Caesar faction in Rome. Mark Antony allied himself with Marcus Aemilius Lepidus in a joint bid for power. However, they were challenged by Caesar's great nephew and adopted son, Octavian. The three men met on an island in a river near Mutina and formed the Second Triumvirate. In doing so, they brought an end to Republican Rome. When the Senate attempted to regain control, Antony and Octavian had 130 of them murdered. Their property was seized and given to those willing to support the new rulers.
Marcus Brutus and Gaius Cassius were defeated by Mark Antony and Octavian at the Battle of Philippi in October 42 BC. After the battle Octavian returned to Rome and Mark Antony went on to govern the east, whereas Marcus Aemilius Lepidus went on to govern Hispania and the province of Africa.
Fulvia, Mark Antony's wife, was also active in Roman politics. To solidify the political alliance, Fulvia offered her daughter, Clodia, to Octavian. Clodia became his wife but she was later returned when Octavian married Scribonia. According to Suetonius, Octavian's marriage with Clodia was never consummated and that she was returned in "mint" condition.
Fulvia saw this as an insult to her family and she decided to take action. Together with Mark Antony's brother, Lucius Antonius, she raised eight legions in Italy to fight against Octavian. The army occupied Rome for a short time, but eventually retreated to Perusia. Octavian besieged Fulvia and Lucius Antonius in the winter of 41 - 40 B.C., starving them into surrender. Fulvia was exiled to Sicyon. Lucius Antonius, was sent by Octavian to Hispania as governor. To show his commitment to his partner, Mark Antony divorced Fulvia and married Octavian's sister Octavia.
It was while he was in Egypt that Mark Antony met Cleopatra. Like Julius Caesar before him, Mark Antony soon fell in love with the Queen of Egypt. They formed a close alliance as Mark Antony set about reorganizing the eastern provinces.
In 40 B.C. the Parthians invaded Roman territory, occupying Syria, advancing into Asia Minor and installing Antigonus as puppet king in Judaea. Mark Antony sent his general Publius Ventidius to oppose this invasion.
Octavian now agreed for Mark Antony to retaliate by invading Parthia. However, the rebellion in Sicily of Sextus Pompeius kept the army promised to Mark Antony in Italy. This caused a dispute with Octavian but a new treaty was signed in Tarentum in 38 BC.
Mark Antony returned to Egypt and persuaded Cleopatra to lend him the money he needed to form an alliance with Herod the Great. In 37 BC, Herod and the Roman Army took back Judaea. Herod turned Antigonus over to Mark Antony, who had him beheaded.
Mark Antony now felt strong enough to invade Parthia. However, with an army of about 100,000 Roman and allied troops but the campaign proved a disaster and after several military defeats Mark Antony was forced to carry out an humiliating retreat.
Octavian now decided to destroy the triumvirate by forming a new alliance with the traditional Republican aristocracy. Marcus Aemilius Lepidus was forced to resign and Octavian began attacking Mark Antony for abandoning his faithful wife, Octavia, to be with the promiscuous Cleopatra. Octavian claimed that Cleopatra was attempting to gain control of the Roman Empire by marrying Mark Antony. Cleopatra replied that her son Caesarion, and not Octavian, was Caesar's true heir.
Octavian responded by declaring war on Cleopatra. Although some Roman legions supported Mark Antony, the vast majority took the side of Octavian.
In 31 BC Octavian defeated Mark Antony at the Battle of Actium on the west coast of Greece. Mark Antony and Cleopatra were forced to flee to Alexandria in Egypt. When Octavian's troops surrounded Alexandria, Mark Antony committed suicide by falling on his sword.
Cleopatra was captured by Octavian who planned to take her back to Rome as his prisoner. However, she was determined not to be humiliated in this way and arranged for a poisonous snake to be smuggled into her room in a large box of figs. Cleopatra then committed suicide by allowing the snake to bite her.
Cleopatra had earlier sent her son Caesarion into hiding but he was betrayed by his tutor. When Octavian found out where Caesarion was he had him murdered but spared Cleopatra's three children by Mark Antony.
