They do not. Cassius wishes to wait for Antony and Octvius to attack them at Sardis, which is well defended. However, Brutus overrules him and insists they march against their enemies at Phillipi instead.

Which city did Brutus and Cassius gather their armies in Julius Caesar?

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.


What does Brutus fear Will happen along and octavius armies march from philippi to sardis?

Brutus fears that as Octavius's armies march from Philippi to Sardis, they will gain strength and momentum, potentially outmaneuvering his own forces. He worries that their advance could lead to a significant battle that could result in the downfall of the conspirators against Caesar. Additionally, he is concerned about the morale of his troops and the possibility of betrayal or desertion as the enemy approaches. Overall, Brutus is anxious about the looming confrontation and its implications for their cause.


What might have influenced Cassius to accept pindarus report?

Cassius has had a complete character shift since the beginning of the play. Previously, he was bold, defiant of the gods and omens, and confident he knew what was right for Rome. In Act Four, the reader can see that Cassius's boldness and bravery are wavering. He resorts to tactics like guilt and pity to make Brutus feel sorry for him when they are fighting He is no longer convincing Brutus to follow him, but begging Brutus to like him and allow him to be his equal. Cassius also doesn't agree with Brutus' plan to march to Philippi. Cassius would rather wait for the opposing army to meet them in Sardis. Again, Cassius is overruled by Brutus. In the beginning of Act Five, Cassius is anxious and nervous regarding the battle. He has seen scavenger birds (like vultures) replace eagles, and he takes this as a bad omen. He and Brutus also say goodbye, in case they never meet again. Cassius is in utter defeat when he receives Pindarus's report. Men have deserted him and even his flag bearer was killed. In such a negative state of mind, it only makes sense that Cassius takes Pindarus' report as truth. It also gives Cassius a reason to give up (commit suicide) without looking cowardly. Since he feels the entire battle is lost, he would rather kill himself than be taken as a slave by Antony and Octavius.
