Best Answer

Cicero was beheaded because he was proscribed (named an enemy of the State) by the Second Triumvirate - Octavian (later known as Augustus), Marcus Aemilius Lepidus, and Mark Antony.

Cicero had previously opposed Antony - and had succeeded in having him proscribed (but he then reconciled with Octavian). After the alliance, the Second Triumvirate, was formed - they began to proscribe their enemies and rivals, including Cicero.
