The Second Triumvirate, to avenge Julius Caesar's …
Years: 45BCE - 34BCE
The Second Triumvirate, to avenge Julius Caesar's murder, initiates the Liberator’s civil war, fought by the forces of Mark Antony and Octavian (who, with Lepidus, form the Second Triumvirate) against the forces of Caesar's assassins Brutus and Cassius in 42 BCE.
The result is death for Brutus and Cassius and victory for the triumvirs at the battle of Philippi; the Roman Republic, under the leadership of the triumvirs, reinstates control over the eastern provinces.
