What to Focus On

  • A proscription list is a list of people marked for death.
  • Octavius forces Lepidus to agree to the death of his own brother.
  • Publius is Antony’s sister’s son and is a separate condemned person.
  • Brutus notices that Cassius is colder than before.
  • Brutus uses the image of a horse to show false friendship.
  • Brutus wants their quarrel to remain private.
  • Cassius complains that Brutus has dishonoured him.
  • Lucius Pella’s case starts the quarrel.
  • Brutus accuses Cassius of taking bribes.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Lepidus is treated as an equal and important ruler by Antony and Octavius.

The brother condemned first is Publius, not Lepidus’s own brother.

Messala and Brutus report the same number of senators killed by proscription.

Memory Tips

Antony, Octavius, and Lepidus as the three rulers
