It seems that the fate of the Roman Republic held high in the events of the Battle of Philippi where the combined armies of Brutus and Cassius (the Republicans), the main plotters of Julius Ceaser's assasination, were defeated and both men were killed. In the battle first Brutus prevaled against Octavian, but to the south Cassius lost against Mark Antony and committed suicide, Brutus would then lose a second battle and commit suicide himself leaving the balance of power with Antony and Octavian leading to Antony's death in Egypt and Octavians ascension as the first Emperor of the Roman Empire, Augustus.
Now curiously what if events had been different? With the defeat of Octavian and Antony and the victory of these 'Republicans' whoe power were mostly amassed in the East of the Empire. Such a victory would leave Marcus Porcius Cato, Marcus Livius Drusus Claudianus alive.
