Document Summary
Praises cicero after death for his respect and praise of the offices. People were not happy with the death. Want the assassins driven out of rome. All of caesar"s actions will remain valid. Changes his name to gaius iulius caesar octavianus. Often leaves out octavianus to gain more support and recognition. Antony does not see octavian as a threat. Octavion and 2 consuls are sent with an army to take out antony. He is defeated, retreats to ally with lepidus. Second triumvirate - preservation of caesar"s reforms, get rid of any republican remnants left of (assassins, cicero, sextus pompey) Octavian and antony did not have the money to pay the legions. Brought back proscriptions kill more people than sulla did. Handing over wealthy cities to the military to be raided. Cicero gets proscribed, leads to his death (enemy of antony) Caesar - support of the people, consulship. Triumviri rei publicae restituendae restore the republic.
