Lepidus’ fellow rebel, Marcus Junius Brutus the Elder, the father of Caesar's famous murderer of the same name, and the founder of the colony in Capua, remains at Mutina, in Gaul.

Pompey marches to destroy him, but Brutus, for reasons unknown, surrenders before a battle has to be fought, putting himself and his troops in the power of Pompey, on the understanding that their lives should be spared.

Brutus is soon killed by one of Pompey's men, named Geminius.

Pompey, who had ordered Brutus’ death, forwards to Rome the news of his surrender and execution.

The senate blames Pompey for the perfidious act.
