Antony offered battle several times, but the Liberators were not lured to leave their defensive stand. Thus, Antony tried to secretly outflank the Liberator’s position through the marshes in the south. With a lot of effort he was able to cut a passage through the marshes, throwing up a causeway upon them. This manoeuvre was finally noticed by Cassius who tried a countermove by moving part of his army south into the marshes and making a transverse dam, trying to cut-off the outstretched Antony ...

Domitius was thus related to several notable figures who would dominate the Roman Empire during the 1st century. Suetonius describes him as ‘despicable and dishonest’. As a young man, Domitius was serving on the staff of his second cousin Gaius Caesar in the East. Gaius was son of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa and Julia Caesaris, daughter to the previously mentioned Caesar Augustus. Domitius fortified their friendship by killing his freedman. The reported reason was that the freedman did not get as drunk as Domitius did. On the Appian Way, Do ...

On the same day of the first battle of Philippi the Republican fleet, patrolling the Ionian Sea was able to intercept and destroy the triumvirs reinforcements (two legions and other troops and supplies led by Domitius Calvinus). Thus, the strategic position of Antony and Octavian became quite serious, since the already depleted regions of Macedonia and Thessaly were unable to supply their army for long, while Brutus could easily receive supplies from the sea. The triumvirs had to send a legion south to Achaia to collect more supplies. The mo ...

After Pompey and the Roman Senate fled over to Greece to avoid Caesar's invasion of Italy, they began to prepare an army to defend themselves in Greece. Caesar therefore marched overland through southern France meanwhile, blockading what is now Marseille, and managing to assemble a small fleet. After crushing Pompey's forces in Spain, Caesar focused once again on Pompey and his troops in Greece. Pompey had a fleet, as well as much support from all Roman provinces and client states east of Italy. Caesar, however managed to cross the Adriatic ...

Pontifex Maximus - Christian usage. In Christian circles, when Tertullian furiously applied the term to Pope Callixtus I, with whom he was at odds, ca 220, over Callistus' relaxation of the Church's penitential discipline, allowing repentant adulterers and fornicators back into the Church, under his Petrine authority to "bind and loosen," it was in bitter irony: "In opposition to this [modesty], could I not have acted the dissembler? I hear that there has even been an edict sent forth, and a p ...
