 * The Battle of Philippi was a decisive engagement in Macedonia, north of Greece. It was between the forces of the Second Triumvirate, led by Marc Antony and Octavian, and the forces of the Liberators, led by Brutus and Cassius. The battle ended in a great victory for the Triumvirate forces and Brutus and Cassius committed suicide, ending the threat of the Liberators’ army. As well, the Triumvirate avenged Julius Caesar's’ death at the hands of Brutus and the other senators. This battle had a great historical impact. It ended the Civil War between the Triumvirate forces and the “rebel” Liberators”. As well, the Empire, for a while anyway had no major threat to it. Until Marc Antony fought against Octavian later on, there was no real resistance to the Emperor. Because of this, Rome was free to transition from a Republic to an Empire. **

4.Old Globe Theater History states “Plays were big!! There was money to be made!! There was a demand for new material!!” (Theater History 1). During the Elizabethan period Shakespeare’s plays were a “big” hit. All kinds of people went to Shakespeare’s plays poor and rich. The commoners would pay 1 cent to stand in the pit because it was affordable (Theater History 1). Now the gentry which would be the low middle class and they would watch from the galleries they would use cushions because they were comfortable. Then the rich nobles would pay to sit on the side of the stage. Men and women both attended plays there was no gender bias when attending Shakespeare’s plays. But many prosperous women would often wear a mask to disguise their identity. So all kinds of people went to the plays kind of like a pro basketball game.
