In scene 1 of "Julius Caesar," Antony, Octavius, and Lepidus are discussing who should be executed as part of their purge. A breach has opened among them because Antony and Octavius are starting to see Lepidus as a lesser member of the triumvirate, with Antony referring to him as a mere "eyeball."
Internal conflicts, such as power struggles and personal ambitions, among Antony, Octavius, and Lepidus threaten to divide the triumvirate. External conflicts, such as disagreements over military strategies and territorial disputes, also pose challenges to their alliance. Additionally, mistrust and conflicting loyalties within their respective circles further strain their unity.
No, Lepidus and Octavius (later known as Augustus) were not brothers. Lepidus was a Roman general and politician who was part of the Second Triumvirate alongside Octavius and Mark Antony. While they were allies and worked closely together during the power struggles following Julius Caesar's assassination, they were not related by blood.
