  1. Romans By: Michael Winstead Dresean Shumaker

  2. C. Octavius was born on 23 September, 63 BC, he was the son of a guy from Velitrae who had reached the praetorship before dying unexpectedly when Octavius was just four years old. The relationship between Caesar and Octavius is not clear. Dio claims (45.1.2) that after Octavius reached maturity (in 48 BC), Caesar took him in and began training him to be his successor.

  3. His adoption, following the Roman custom, Octavius now took the name C. Julius Caesar Octavianus (hereafter "Octavian"). To identify himself with his adoptive father and to lend his subsequent actions a veneer of legitimacy, he simply called himself "Caesar," and is usually named in ancient sources.

  4. Through tribunician legislation in June 44 BC, Antony had his command in Macedonia exchanged for that in proximate and powerful Cisalpine Gaul. Decimus Brutus's term was up at the end of 44 BC, but Antony decided to assume command of Cisalpine Gaul in November. Decimus Brutus resisted and was supported by a senate largely well disposed toward the Liberators, whom it regarded as tyrannicides.
