Events

Denarius of Sextus Pompey, struck 42 BC. On the occasion of his victory over Octavian's fleet

March: Sextus Pompeius , youngest son of Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus , brings Sicily under his control. The previous governor Pompeius Bithynicus , who hands over Messana on condition that the government is divided, Sextus has after a grace period eliminated. Conquering Sicily gave him the time and resources to raise an army while his fleet from its central position endangered Rome's grain supply. By intercepting the sea transports and raids on the coast, Sextus actually succeeds in causing famine to break out in Rome. Octavian then dispatches Quintus Salvidienus Rufus Salvius with a fleet in the early summer , but Pompey parked it at Scyllaeum in the Strait of Messina and drove it back.
Battle of Philippi in October / November:
- presumably on October 23 : The Caesar assassins Marcus Junius Brutus and Cassius are put to battle with their armies by the associations of the Triumvirate under Octavian , Marcus Antonius and Marcus Aemilius Lepidus . Cassius loses to Mark Antony and, believing that his comrade Brutus also lost the battle against Octavian, commits suicide .
- presumably on November 16 : Marcus Junius Brutus and his army are defeated by Octavian and Marcus Antonius' troops, flee and commit suicide.
