What happened to ligarius after the battle of philippi?
He was pardoned by Caesar at the behest of Cicero after the Battle of Philippi, but after Caesar's murder he was executed in the proscriptions by the triumvirs Antony, Octavian and Lepidus in 43 BCE.These proscriptions were done to raise funds to finance the ongoing war against his assassins - Cassius, Brutus, Casca etc - the triumvirs each nominated wealthy Romans to be killed so that their estates could be used to finance the war.Three relatives with the name Ligarius were killed in these proscriptions - one of them the co-assassin of Caesar in the Shakespearean play.
Whom did Marc Antony assassinate in 43 BC?
In 43 BC the triumvirs had certain people proscribed. Cicero was one of them who Marc Antony refused to remove from the list, as they had a long standing feud. Although Antony did not personally kill him, Cicero was still a victim of the proscriptions, which Antony authorized.
How did the Second Triumvirate raise money without imposing higher taxes on the Roman people?
The second Triumvirate carried out large scale proscriptions. Many supporters of the assassins of Caesar were declared enemies of the state. They were executed and their property was confiscated. This eliminated many enemies of the Triumvirate and raised a lot of money, as many of the proscribed people were rich.
What were the lower class Romans called?
Proles.The proletarians were those who had no property - all they contributed to the state was children, and the word means breeders.Note on Plebs:Plebeians were simply those who were not Patricians, ie of the old distinguished original families. Plebeians included some of the richest and influential men in Rome (try Cicero, Pompey the Great) as well as the poorest. The Patrician families often had Plebeian branches of the family. The distinction died out when the proscriptions of the civil wars wiped out most of the Patricians.
Who was caeser Augustus?
Adoptive son and designated heir of Julius Caesar, Octavian gained power, calling himself First Citizen and adopting the title of Augustus (high one), sedulously avoiding any implication of dictator/king which had brought out the knives against Julius Caesar. He ruled the Roman Empire for over 40 years.
