What was the Second Triumvirate about?
The Second Triumvirate is the name historians give to the political alliance of Octavian (later known as Augustus), Marcus Aemilius Lepidus, and Mark Antony, which was legally established in 43 BC.
Effectively, this was a three-man directorate with dictatorial powers which had a term of five years. These men were former supporters of Julius Caesar. This alliance fought and defeated the Liberators, the assassins of Caesar, in the two Battles of Philippi in Greece in what has been called the Liberators' civil war (44-42 BC). After this victory, the Triumvirs agreed to divide the provinces (the conquered territories) of the Republic into spheres of influence. Octavian took control of the West (Italy, Gaul and Britain) Antony of the East, and Lepidus of Hispania and Africa in the Brundisium (modern day Brindisi in Apulia) Agreement of 40 BC. Octavian tightened his hold on the west and defeated the Sicilian revolt (44-36 BC) which was led by and Sextus Pompey, the son of Pompey the Great who had fought against Julius Caesar. Mark Antony strengthened his hold in the East and reformed its provincial administration.
The Triumvirate broke apart due to enmities between the three men. Mark Antony loathed Octavian. Lepidus supported Mark Antony, but felt obscured by his colleagues. He cooperated in Octavian's campaign against Sextus Pompey, but tried to seize control of Octavian's legions. Octavian unilaterally expelled him from the Triumvirate. Finally, Octavian and Mark Antony fought a propaganda war against each other. Octavian found an excuse to declare war on Mark Antony's lover and ally, Cleopatra VII of Egypt, in order to fight Mark Antony, whom he knew would support Cleopatra. Octavian defeated both of them in the Final War of the Roman Republic (32-30 BC) and become the sole ruler of Rome and her provinces. He became the first Roman emperor under the name of Augustus.

Why was Caesar important to Roman history?
Julius Caesar was important to Roman history because he precipitated the crisis which led to the fall of the Roman Republic and the beginning of rule by emperors. He started the first of the six civil wars at the end of the Republic, defeating the forces of the senate. The then concentrated power in his hands. He ended the election of the officers of state and make them became his appointees (later they were appointees of emperors). He had himself appointed dictator for life. This was an extraordinary office of state appointed by senatorial decree in times of emergency. Its term was six months, whereas for Caesar it was for life. Thus, Caesar laid the foundations of the later rule by emperors. He was assassinated because of suspicions that he wanted to become a king, which was anathema to the culture of the Roman Republic. After his death there were more civil wars and power struggles which ended with a victory by Caesar's adopted son, who became the first Roman emperor under the name of Augustus.
Caesar was also the greatest military leader in Roman history and the conqueror of Gaul. He also radically reformed the Roman calendar, switching from a lunar system to a solar one. This is the calendar which, except for minor modifications introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in the 16th century, we still use today. Caesar also made reforms which addressed the plight of the poor.
The Republic fell under the weight of imperialism. It had become dysfunctional with the growth of the empire. The central government lost control over the provinces whose governors acted quite independently from Rome. The professionalisation of the army had made the soldiers loyal to the commanders of their legions who could use them to obtain what they wanted through violence or the threat of violence. Tax collection in the provinces was carried out by private collectors who 'farmed' the taxes to line their pockets. Corruption went out of control. There was mass poverty. The senators were seen as being concerned with the interests of the aristocracy, rather than those of the poor and were unpopular among the middle and lower classes. Caesar wanted power for himself, but also to confront all these problems, create a viable state capable to deal with the empire, and make reforms in favour of the poor.
