After Brutus[and others] assassinated Julius Caesar, he moved to Athens then Crete. In 43BC Octavian was Consul of Rome, he declared that the murderers of Julius Caesar were " enemies of the state". This news came to the ears of Brutus, and upon hearing that Octavian and Mark Anothony were at odds, and neither had an army that could protect Rome. Brutus decided to take Cassius and his 17 legions and march on Rome. When Octavian and Mark Anthony heard that Brutus was on his way, they decided to combine forces[total of 19 legions] and meet Brutus in battle. The "Battle of Philippe" ended in a stale mate,Brutus 1- Octavian 0, Mark Anthony 1- Crassus 0, with Crassus committing suicide. The second "Battle of Philippe" was then fought, with Brutus being defeated, Brutus did escape, but committed suicide shortly after.
