In the Battle of Messala, it appears to Cassius that his side is losing, and he sends Titinius to see if some forces in the distance are friend or foe. Cassius posts his slave Pindarus on a hill to observe Titinius. Pindarus reports that Titinius has been taken prisoner. (Actually, Titinius was welcomed by a crowd of victorious soldiers on the side of Cassius.) Believing that all is lost, Cassius orders Pindarus to kill him; Pindarus does so, and runs away.
