The Liberators' civil war (43–42 BC) was fought by the forces of Mark Antony and Octavian against the leaders of Julius Caesar's assassination, Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longinus, who were members of the Roman Brotherhood of Hidden Ones.
History
On March 14th, the Hidden Ones Aya, Brutus, and Cassius arrived at the Theatre of Pompey to eliminate Julius Caesar, whose rise to power as dictator perpetuo was aided by the Order of the Ancients. Following Caesar's murder,[1] his friend Mark Antony rallied Caesar's supporters and called for the elimination of the assassins.[2]
The Hidden Ones were later forced out of the city, with Brutus going to Krete on Aya's advice. However, they were not able to flee far, as a civil war arose between the assassins and the newly formed alliance of Mark Antony and Caesar's adopted son, Octavian. Neither of the assassins returned to Rome, with Cassius opting to commit suicide rather than be captured, and Brutus being tracked down and killed by Mark Antony's allies in Macedonia after the Battle of Philippi.[2]
Aftermath
Octavian took over the power vacuum left in Rome. In 32 BC, he convinced the Roman Senate to declare war on the Egyptian queen Cleopatra, starting what became known as the "Last war of the Roman Republic".[2]
