Brutus and Cassius met to join their armies at Saris, in western Turkey. They had levied 19 legions. Then they crossed into Macedon (northern and north-eastern Greece) and encamped near Philippi. Brutus had levied his troops in Greece and Cassius in the Roman province of Asia, in western Turkey. By 43 BC Cassius had gathered 12 legions and was ready to take on Publicus Cornelius Dolabella, the governor of Syria and a supporter of Marc Antony (who at that time was the leader of the Caesarians, the supporters of Caesar) whom he defeated at Laodicea (modern Latakia in Syria).The senate, which had pitted itself against Marc Antony, made Cassius governor of Syria. Cassius then wanted to march on Egypt. However, with the formation of the Second triumvirate, Brutus asked him for help. Cassius turned west and reached Smyrna, on the west coast of Turkey with most of his forces. Before meeting up at Saris, Cassius and Brutus attacked the allies of the Second Triumvirate in the east. Cassius sacked the Greek island Rhodes. Brutus sacked Lycia, in western Turkey.
Julius Caesar was assassinated by Brutus and Cassius on March 15, 44 BC. Since that time, March 15 has been known as the "Ides of March."
Cassius agrees to march to Philippi because he believes that advanced planning will give them a strategic advantage in the coming battle against Antony and Octavius. He feels that taking the fight to Philippi will also prevent their enemies from gaining further strength and support.
In Act 4 scene 3 of Julius Caesar Brutus and Cassius get into a argument. Brutus instigated the argument when he saw Cassius attempt to steal, feeling the motives for murdering Caesar was misconstrued.
