 | | Following the death of Julius Caesar in 44 BCE, Caesar's general and consul in Rome, Antonius, likely expected to be voiced in his will as an heir to his fortune, estate, or political reputation. |
 | | However, Octavian, a boy of eighteen and grandnephew to Caesar, was declared to be his adopted son, inheriting his name and some of his fortune, with the rest being bequeathed to the people of Rome. |
 | | On November 27th, 43 BCE, Antonius, Octavian, and the Pontifex Maximus, Lepidus, formulated what is known as the Second Triumvirate to rule over the former Republic. |
