Brutus and Antony - The Death of a Consul

With hertius dead, pansa was the only thing standing between octavian and control of eight full legions. Brutus tried briefly to assert command in his role as governor of the province but octavian would have none of it. Antony arrived in gaul and hooked up with the 11 legions stationed there under the command of marcus lepidus. Caesar's son and caesar's best friend now controlled between them some 20 legions. It was possible antony and octavian might each be beaten by the liberator armies, but combined, combined, they would be unstoppable.
