Triumvirate

The Second Triumvirate existed from 43 B.C. to 33 B.C. The Second Triumvirate lasted for only ten years. The Second Triumvirate years were filled with a variety of battles between the three men. Rome will fall with the new Triumvirate because the people have been deceived and have faced many troubles, the Triumvirate has tasted power and are greedy for more, and the three men in the Triumvirate mistrust and dislike each other. The Triumvirate stealing from the public’s fortune shows their lack of

Cassus, Pompey, and Caesar all got together and made the first triumvirate because they all had claims to the throne, and splitting power equally solved many disputes. However, the First Triumvirate worked mostly behind the scenes. Crassus and Pompey both died, leaving Caesar in charge of all of the Roman Empire. After Caesar was assassinated, Pompey and Cassus were both sent to war and killed abroad. The Second Triumvirate was made of Octavian, Marc Antony, and Lepidus. These three men were pretty

The Battle of Philippi was the last fought battle of the wars of the second Triumvirate. These wars were a fight between the forces of Marc Antony and Octavian of the Second Triumvirate, and the forces of Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longinus. Brutus and Cassius were the assassinators of Julius Caesar, Marc Antony and Octavian were very close allies with Julius Caesar and Octavian would become the heir to his throne after the assassination. Because of this, Marc Antony and Octavian would

The Second Triumvirate was a “formal magistracy legally appointed which could dominate the Senate and the State” (Scullard) and would prove to be the final straw in an already failed Republican system. The Roman Republic was ruled by a Constitution, which relied on a balance of three elements; The Senate; the Magistrates; the Assemblies. When the balance was upset either by ambitious magistrates, armies or tribunes then civil war was the result. The Senate proved ineffectual in preventing the Second

A triumvirate is a group of three powerful people who rule an area. The agreement can be written or unwritten. The three people would, theoretically have an equal say on dealing in the territory, in this case, Rome. However, one person usually stood out in the group as the leader. In Ancient Rome, there were 2 triumvirates. The First Triumvirate was formed in 60 B.C. to share the power and make each person more powerful than before. The three men in the triumvirate were Julius Caesar, Marcus Licinius

The First Triumvirate between Gaius Julius Caesar, Gnaius Pompeius Magnus (Pompey) and Marcus Licinius Crassus contributed to the fall of the Roman Republic by undermining the Senate, which was unable to effectively deal with an expanding and diverse empire. This was affected by the triumvirate appealing directly to popular assemblies, because their alliance conflicted directly with the conservative Optimates, who refused to change with Rome's expansion. Though ultimately because each triumvir, being

The First Triumvirate The first triumvirate was and alliance between three prominent politicians, Crassus, Pompey and Julius Caesar. The Roman historian Livy described the First Triumvirate as 'a conspiracy against the state by its three leading citizens'. The agreement was unofficial and private. It was formed in the summer of 60-59 B.C. The first triumvirate however is a bit misleading in name. Not only was it never called that by the contemporary Romans, but it was a far more inclusive factio

Prior to the formation of the second Triumvirate, Julia Caesar had been brutally assassinated, which plunged Rome into another Civil War. The second triumvirate was formed when the Lex titia was passed in 43BC, making the position of Anthony, Lepidus and Octavian the highest constitutional office in the Roman state. As Scullard stated, “In place of the dictator Caesar, there were now three dictators.” The second Triumvirate was created to strengthen political control and used their power to legally

Lone Survivor: Mission First Every soldier in the ARMY of the United States of America knows the following phrase from the Soldier’s Creed: “I will always place the mission first” (ARMY.mil). The aforementioned is arguably the most powerful line in the Soldier’s Creed and exists in different variants across the branches of the military. The life of a soldier is not an easy one, so it is to be expected that there will be times that a soldier will have to make difficult decisions. Sometimes these

The Interlopers and The Machine That Won the War are two short stories that have many differences, but have a few similarities as well. The Interlopers is a short tale depicting a feud between two young men, Ulrich von Gradwitz and Georg Znaeym. Georg believes that the land currently under Ulrich’s name actually belongs to him, therefore steals game from Ulrich’s land just to spite him (Saki 82-83). After confronting each other, it is made clear that they both wish to take the other’s life (83).
