What event closely followed on the murder of Julius Caesar?

Answer 1

The murder of Julius Caesar on March 15, 44 BCE, was closely followed by a power struggle among Roman leaders, leading to a series of civil wars. This turmoil ultimately resulted in the rise of Caesar's adopted heir, Octavian (later known as Augustus), who, alongside Mark Antony and Lepidus, formed the Second Triumvirate to consolidate power. Their conflict with the conspirators' supporters culminated in the Battle of Philippi in 42 BCE, where the forces of the Triumvirate defeated the assassins of Caesar. This series of events marked the transition from the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire.
