First Triumvirate Correct Answer: Caesar, Pompey, and Crassus

Pompey Correct Answer: Leading Roman general in the late Republic.

As a statesman, he spoke poorly and awkwardly, and often fell back on silence because he could think of
nothing to say.

Marcus Licinius Crassus Correct Answer: Was of nobility, and was noted for his ambition and business
savvy, particularly in the acquisition of burned property, which he would repair or rebuild for a profit.

2. Proposed a law to restore citizenship to all who had fought under Lepidus and Sertorius.
3. Revived the censorship, dormant since Sulla's time.
4. Successfully supported a law that broke the senatorial monopoly on jury service.

The lex Gabinia Correct Answer: Enacted in 67 B.C. by the consul Gabinius to appoint Pompey as a

into slavery he resettled those who surrendered on farms or villages in Asia Minor.

Julius Caesar (First Triumvirate) Correct Answer: Between 59 and 52 B.C. he built an impressive political
and military reputation—serving first as consul, and then fighting in the Gallic War.

,He was smart, unconventional, and bold almost to the point of recklessness.

The Breakdown of the First Triumvirate Correct Answer: 1. The death of Crassus in Syria in 53 B.C.
2. Pompey- with his geographical proximity to Rome and the rise of gang violence in Rome that he was
called upon to put down- believed that he was within reach of being a traditional leader.
3. The death of Pompey's wife (and Caesar's daughter) ended the family connection between Caesar
and Pompey.
4. In 50 B.C., the optimates tried to force Caesar from command in Gaul, and commissioned Pompey to
lead two legions against him.

Crassus attacked the Parthians to his east.

Crossing the Rubicon Correct Answer: In January 49 B.C., Caesar- claiming to be acting in the defense of
the tribunes-- crossed the Rubicon River, and moved toward Rome with his army (6 legions or 30,000
infantry and 3,000 cavalry).

Africa and Spain.

who had begun a charge from a great distance away- to stop and rest

, Death of Pompey Correct Answer: Pompey fled to Egypt, where Ptolemy XIII- in a civil war with his
famous sister Cleopatra VII- murdered Pompey in an attempt to link their cause with the rising Caesar.

5. Laid the foundation for Rome's Imperial coinage.
6. Introduced a new calendar based on the Egyptian solar calendar and with a year beginning on January
1, and lasting 365 ¼ days.

Death of Caesar Correct Answer: In 44 B.C., Caesar assumed the title "dictator for life."

Caesar was assassinated by Senators ("the Tyrannicides") on 15 March 44 B.C.

The Second Triumvirate Correct Answer: Coalition of Marcus Antonius, Octavian, and Marcus Lepidus.

Formed to fight the "tyrannicides" and avenge Caesar's death.

Banned its enemies and potential rivals, including Cicero.

Defeated the tyrannicides in 42 B.C. at Philippi.

Cicero's Death Correct Answer: Cicero had not been a part of the plot that killed Caesar, but he did not
have a good relationship with Antony, and tried to have him declared an enemy of the state.

Antony had Cicero murdered in 43 B.C.

The famed orator, lawyer, and defender of the Republic was beheaded- his head nailed to the wall of
the Forum in Rome.

Antony-Octavian Dispute Correct Answer: 1. Antony married Octavian's sister, but left her in Rome, and
moved to Egypt where he had a very open affair with Cleopatra VII.
2. Antony installed Cleopatra's son with Julius Caesar, Caesarion, as Ptolemy XV, joint ruler of Egypt, and
legitimate heir to Julius Caesar
3. Octavian- a master of propaganda-- obtained a copy of Antony's will, which revealed substantial
