Summary
Having formed the Second Triumvirate, the uneasy alliance of Caesarian commanders had seized control of the Roman Republic in late 43 BC. Establishing control over the Senate and Italy, one clear challenge to their dominance remained, the anti-Caesarian faction of Brutus and Cassius, which had been gaining in strength whilst the Triumvirs had fought amongst themselves.
