battle of Philippi

kind: battle · 42 BCE — the editor’s frame · 27 mentions across 22 episodes of the record — counted by the house’s first pass receipt — the deed shelf, first pass receipt — the witness index

The two battles of autumn 42 BCE against Brutus and Cassius are served under this one address; the record itself (Suet. Aug. 13) counts them as one war of Philippi.

Where the accounts part — the record’s own argument; the witnesses below carry the receipts

Suetonius has the future Augustus 'driven from his camp' and 'barely making his escape' in the first battle — the detail his own memoirs had to answer. Plutarch's Brutus gives the philosophic camp its last suppers and ghosts; Tacitus' next century files Philippi beside Pharsalia among the public wounds.

42 BCE; the label conventionally covers both engagements (October and November), and Suetonius says so: 'he finished the war of Philippi also in two battles.'
