What happened at the end of the Second triumvirate?

Answer 1

Pompey and Caesar were drifting apart in their political beliefs and Pompey was taking the sides of men who detested Caesar. Pompey had also been married to Caesar's daughter to solidify their bonds, but when that marriage ended (I believe through the death of Caesar's daughter, Julia) their was nothing holding the two together. Crassus' death just sealed the end of the Triumvirate.

Answer 2

After Caesar had been killed, Marc Antony controlled the republic, but he had to do business with with the assassins, Brutus and Cassius. He made them governors of provinces in the east. However, Caesar's adopted son Octavian thought this was too kind, and exploiting the anger of Caesar's veterans, he launched a war against Antony, who was defeated at Modena in northern Italy. After his victory, Octavian returned to Rome, demanded the consulship, and surprised the world with the creation of an alliance with... Marc Antony. This remarkable volte-face had been designed by Marcus Aemilius Lepidus, like Antony a former general in Caesar's army. He became the third member of the Second Triumvirate, which was recognized in November 43 by the People's Assembly (Lex Titia). The triumviri rei publicae constituendae ('board of three to reconstitute the state') accepted the powers of a dictator and took several measures * the execution of 4,700 opponents (e.g. Cicero); * land bills to give farms to Caesar's veterans (the inhabitants of eighteen cities were sent away from their homes without any compensation); * war against Caesar's murderers, who were defeated at Philippi; * measures against the Senate, including the appointment of all magistrates. Those opposed to the regime found refuge at Sicily, where a son of Pompey the Great, Sextus, organized resistance. In 36, he was defeated in a naval battle by Lepidus and Octavian (and Octavian's admiral Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa), and Octavian proceeded to strip Lepidus of his powers. Marc Antony, who was in charge of the east and had fallen in love with Cleopatra, was defeated in 31 in the naval battle of Actium. From now on, Octavian was sole ruler; from 27 on, he called himself Augustus ('the exalted one') .

Answer 3

The first triumvirate ended 53 B.C. with the death of Marcus Licinius Crassus in battle during his botched campaign against the Parthians (Persians). Triumvirate comes from the Latin, triumviratus, trēs three + vir man. It is a political regime dominated by three powerful individuals. Therefore, when Crassus died, there were not three men who dominated Roman politics, even though the triumvirate had been an informal alliance. Caesar and Pompey had started drifting apart, after the death of his wife, Julia, who was Caesar's daughter, the year before, 54 B.C. In 52 B.C. When he was consul in 52 B.C. Pompey sided with Caesar's enemies.

Answer 4

The second Triumvirate ended with Octavian's defeat of Lepidus in Sicily. It then became a contest between Octavian and Antony for dominance. Octavian defeated Antony at Actium and became the sole power in the Roman world.

____________________________________________________________________

After the defeat of Brutus(which was done by Octavian Antony and Lipedus. They did this because Brutus killed Octavian's father), Octavian, Antony, and Lepidus took control of their own land (they were still the 2nd Triumvirate). Lepidus however was old and so he died; leaving Octavian and Antony alone. Both of them wanted Africa as their own land so they both had a great war. The last battle was the Battle of Actium, there Octavian defeated Antony to win the war. *note: Octavian and Cleopatra were "together" and so they both fought against Octavian*

Anyway, Antony and Cleopatra fled and they later committed suicide with the Asp(a deadly snake). Octavian then was the last of the 2nd Triumvirate and well.......---- that means it was over. Octavian Caesar then became the sole ruler of the Roman Empire because now that he is king, the Roman Republic died. This was the end of the second triumvirate and the end of the republic.
