Liberators’ Civil War

After Caesar’s assassination, Mark Antony (Antonius) and Augustus (Octavian) joined forces with a third man named Lepidus to find and punish the conspirators who had killed Caesar. This war was known as Liberators’ Civil War and this group of three men was known as the triumvirate. After winning the war, they divided the empire between them: Augustus got the west, Mark Antony got the east and Lepidus got North Africa. Cleopatra helped them in war with her forces and in the process managed to clear her name with them.
