Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" Questions!
The Battle of Philippi started after the assassination of _________________. It's Caesar, right? That's what started it all... Cassius’s army fought ____________, while Brutus’s army fought ____________. I don't know! I had a really hard time understanding the story. I'd appreciate any help at all!
yes after Julius Caesars death by Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longinus in 42 BC and after the murder of Caesar, Brutus and Cassius (the two main conspirators, also known as the Liberatores) had left Italy and taken control of all Eastern provinces (from Greece and Macedonia to Syria) and of the allied Eastern kingdoms. In Rome the three main Caesarian leaders (Antony, Octavian and Lepidus), who controlled almost all the Roman army in the west, had crushed the opposition of the senate and established the second triumvirate. One of their first tasks was to destroy the Liberators’ forces, not only to get full control of the Roman world, but also to avenge Caesar’s death. I hope this helps (:
