Octavian considered it his "duty" to avenge his father
Rumours that he "engineered" the deaths of the consuls Hirtius and Pansa
Antony claimed Octavian was not present for the first battle, but all agree that for the second he "not only led his troops, but played the soldier’s part too when…he shouldered the eagle of the legion”
“He received offices and honours himself, some before the usual age, and some newly created and for life”
During Phillipi, vowed to build Temple of Mars
Antony accused him of "unnatural relations" with JC as the "price of his adoption"
