Do I immediately try to punish these conspirators? In particular, you have Brutus, Brutus and Cassius, who are considered two of the leaders of the conspiracy. And he decides, instead of putting the Senate into further turmoil, he tries to have a little bit of a compromise and doesn't immediately punish them. And they're able to go from Rome and then go to the east, where they are the de facto leaders of the eastern provinces. But then in 43 BCE, things get a little bit more interesting. Julius Caesar, in his will, he declares that his nephew, Octavian, or will be shortly known as Octavian, who's 18 years old at the time of the death on the Ides of March, that he is, that he, in his will, should be his adopted son. And so makes him the natural heir of Julius Caesar.
