On March 15, 44 BC, Caesar is betrayed and assassinated by Brutus and Cassius. Rome’s seat of power is vacant and coveted. Marc Antony seizes the opportunity and makes an alliance with Caesar’s young nephew, Octavian. Putting aside their rivalry, they form a triumvirate with Lepidus to avenge Caesar.
But still wary of Rome, the republicans Brutus and Cassius rallied their legions, seriously threatening the caesareans. Octavian and Antony fight them in the plain of Philippi, in Eastern Macedonia and Thrace. This merciless combat led by two fundamentally opposed personalities will change the world forever.
