The answer is to avenge Caesar’s death. They formed a third Triumvirate with Lepidus and massed their armies to defeat the conspirators who caused Caesar’s death. After dealing with conspirators in Rome they fought the armies of Brutus and Cassius at the Battle of Philippi were Brutus and Cassius took their lives and the Third Triumvirate emerged victorious.
