|Julius| |Caesar|, |Julius| |Caesar,| |Imperator| |and| |Dictator,| |October| |49| |-| |15| |March| |44| |B.C.|, On 26 November 43 B.C. Octavian, Antony and Lepidus agreed to a five-year autocratic pact, the Second Triumvirate. In October 42 B.C. the Republican army was defeated by the legions Antony and Octavian at Philippi. Brutus committed suicide on 28 October. The Republican cause was crushed; Rome rested in the hands of the Second Triumvirate. The rudder and globe are symbolic of Caesar's mastery of land and sea, the apex a reminder of his piety as Pontifex Maximus, and the cornucopia and caduceus were symbolic of the prosperity and happiness that Caesar had provided to the Roman people.
