The Battles of Philippi

Battle of the Philippines (42 BC): Philippi's death in the Roman Republic is still one of the best examples of how the battlefield has a bold influence on history. After assassination of Gaius · Julius · Caesar by a group of famous Roman politicians in AD 44, this war was a climax of the civil war; (Marcus Junius · Brutus (Brutus) and Gaius · Casius · Longina (Casius) It is known as "liberator". The battle made in the Plato of Macedonia from October 1 to 21 BC on the 18th BC clearly shows political, military, economic, social and important battlefield considerations regardless of historical period is showing.

Philippi is the assassin of Julius Caesar, Marcus Junius ("You too?") Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longus are vengeance of Caesar Mark Anthony and Octavian escaped before catching. In 42 BC, the battle of the Philippines destroyed several Roman corps that are faithful to Octavian or Brutus. Victory was octavian, Republican assassins and their troops were annihilated. Rome officially became an empire ... it was customary that the whole corps was promoted together and retired. If their service is glorious, they will get land and some money, which is equivalent to the welfare of contemporary veterans. Shortly after the battle, Octavian became the emperor, most of the Philippi's 28th Corps retired. In commemoration of their retirement, this city has been renamed Colonia Victrix Philippensium, or "Victory Colony, Philippi". Twelve years later, in 30 BC, Octavian has now retired veterans from the secret service division superintendent.

Both Caesar and Octavian provided a significant salary increase for their troops. So, in this regard, the campaign where Brutus and Cassius participated ended in a Philippine battle in the fall of 42 BC. But the next day of IDES in March, Brutus closely closed his wallet. He promised that soldiers would not take away the benefits they gave them from Caesar. I thought I could understand the behavior of Brutus, but unfortunately. If I were one of Caesar's veterans, I would be angry with the silence of Brutus. I thought that the assassin was just killing my guardian. Caesar is a guarantee of the land of Italy, most veterans have not received it yet. He is a respect for the future and a commitment to safety. If his assassin is hoping for my support, they need to provide more reward than a sweet story and handshake.

In Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, it may be written one or two years before Hamlet, and on the eve of battle, ghosts seem to be the hero. On the eve of the Philippine battle, Brutus suffered from insomnia while sleeping around him. As the candle flickered, a "strange phantom" (4.3.278) appeared in front of him. It is a ghost of Julius Caesar that was killed. Brutus asked the ghost and asked if it was "God, angel, or devil" (4.3.279). His jargon is both infidels ("some gods") and Christians ("some angels"). The ghost answered that this was his "devil" and Brutus replied that he would meet him "in Philippi" (4.3.282-83). In the northern version of "Plutarch's" life in Brutus ", the expression is close to the source of Shakespeare, but in the plays of Shakespeare, the direction of directing" enter into the soul of Caesar "indicates that Pertak does not designate The "spirit" has become a ghost of Brutus who helps killing. Psychologically, this is appropriate as Brutus feels that he is suffering from Caesar
