    Before his death, Caesar had adopted Octavian as his heir. Octavian's mother was Caesar's niece. After Caesar's assassination, Octavian took the name Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus. In Rome, he sought to maintain control of the empire along with the conspirators Brutus and Cassius, and his friend Mark Antony. Cicero did not approve of these leaders and wanted to help the young Octavian. He believed Octavian could lead Rome better than Brutus, Cassius, or Antony.

    UNIT IX The Adoption of Octavian & The Second Triumvirate

    Ante mortem Caesaris, ipse dictator heredem adoptaverat, iuvenem Octavianum. Mater Octaviani erat Caesari matertera. Caesare interfecto manibus coniuratiis, Octavianus nomen cepit Gaium Julium Caesarem Octavianum. In urbe, populi Romani cogitabat coniuratios imperium tenere, Bruto Cassioque ducibus (quoque Marco Antonio, amicus Caesaris). Cicero tamen non erat delectatus a illis ducibus et Octavianus iuvenem adiuvare volebat. Cicero credebat Octavianum Romanos ducere posse melius quam aut Brutum Cassiumque aut Antonium. Octavianus erat vir qui habet bonos mores et forte studium de civitate. Mox occasio venit ad Octavianus. Ipse triumviros rei publicae constituendae fecit, cum Antonio et amico Antonii, Lepido. Sine jure consultu senatus, triumviri provincias Romanas inter se dividerunt, proscriptiones instituerunt, et contra Brutum Cassiumque bellum gesserunt. Brutus et Cassius manibus suis se occiderunt, imperio Romano in manibus triumvirorum relicto. Octavianus certus est erat facta sua Romam iuvatura esse. Mox tamen Antonius sororem Octavianii in matrimonium duxit. Hoc matrimonium erat initium periculi Octaviano.
