About this eBook

Following Caesar’s death, Mark Antony cleverly turns public opinion against the conspirators with a stirring funeral oration, inciting the Roman populace to revolt. Brutus and Cassius flee Rome and prepare for war against Antony and Octavius, Caesar’s heir. Tensions rise within the conspirators’ camp as Brutus and Cassius argue over strategy and personal grievances. At the plains of Philippi, the two sides clash in a decisive battle. Cassius, mistakenly believing his forces have lost, takes his own life. Brutus fights bravely but eventually succumbs to despair and also commits suicide. Antony and Octavius emerge victorious, solidifying their control over Rome. The play ends with a mix of triumph and tragedy, reflecting on themes of loyalty, power, and the fragility of ambition.
