<P> The Battle of Philippi was the final battle in the Wars of the Second Triumvirate between the forces of Mark Antony and Octavian ( of the Second Triumvirate ) and the leaders of Julius Caesar 's assassination , Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longinus in 42 BC , at Philippi in Macedonia . The Second Triumvirate declared this civil war ostensibly to avenge Julius Caesar 's assassination in 44 BC , but the underlying cause was a long - brewing conflict between the so - called Optimates and the so - called Populares . </P>
