Looking at the political machinations in the immediate aftermath of Caesar's assassination it seems to me that Brutus and Cassius simply let the initiative slip out of their hands. Instead of taking the high moral ground and not moving against others in the Caesarean faction they sat back and let Anthony and later Octavian reorganise their power base.
What if Brutus gets persuaded to lay aside his high minded ideals and Sullan-style proscriptions are invoked against, at least, the higher ranking Caesareans. If Cicero gets persuaded to come on board as a neutral frontman and spin doctor for the conspirators in the Senate could this work?
