Brutus, who had been a main conspirator against Julius Caesar, sits after the Battle of Philippi before he commits suicide.

The Battle of Philippi in 42 was the final battle between the Second Triumvirate and those who had killed Julius Caesar. The conspirator Brutus faced Octavius—who would succeed Caesar as Augustus and become the first emperor of Rome. The conspirator Cassius faced Mark Antony. The Triumvirate won. This early 1900s illustration shows Brutus after the Battle of Philippi and before he commits suicide.
