By the time of Caesar's assassination Octavius' name had changed to Octavian. His name changed when he was adopted by Julius Caesar.
After Caesar's assassination Octavian, Mark Antony and Marcus Aemilius Lepidus formed the Second Triumvirate. This was an alliance the three men made to seize power. This alliance was made a three-man directorate with dictatorial powers for five years by a law in 43 BC and was renewed for another five years in 37 BC. The triumvirs made war against the forces of the murderers of Caesar and defeated them in the Battle of Philippi in Greece (40 BC). The three men signed the treaty of Brundisium whereby Octavian took charge of the west, March Antony took the east and Lepidus took Africa.
In 36 BC Octavian accused Lepidus of treason and forced him into exile. He ten then turned against Mark Antony and fought a war against him and his ally Cleopatra VII of Egypt. Octavian won and Antony and Cleopatra committed suicide. The victorious Octavian brought the Roman Republic to an end, became the sole ruler of Rome and her empire and changed his name to Augustus.

Calphurnia's incessant pleadings caused Caesar to decide upon staying behind. But, Decius Brutus arrived on the scene. He undid all the effect of Calphurnia and the interpretation of her dream. He told that blood oozing out from Caesar and hundreds of Romans bathing their hands in it meant that Rome shall draw its power and energy from Caesar and people will ask for his blood stain, hair and his belongings to keep as a memento which they shall later mention in their will bequeathing it to their children. This flattered Caesar who now considered Calphurnia's fear as senseless and became determined to go to the Capitol.
Cassius asks Brutus what he plans to do if they should lose the battle. Cassius knows that he too will soon be captured by Antony and Octavius, and will certainly be dragged through the streets of Rome in chains.
He is afraid that Caesar will become a tyrant.
They know that if Antony and Octavius' army marches to them, they'll be able to get more men for their army. They know that people will want to join Antony and Octavius if they get the chance to. They know that they are already at their peak and must fight as soon as possible.
