Both consuls are killed (Hirtius did not die until after the Battle of Mutina; Octavian takes command of their armies.

April 21 — Antony is again defeated in the Battle of Mutina by a coalition of Octavian, Decimus Brutus, and the two consuls of the year. Antony withdraws into Transalpine Gaul (France) to join Aemilius Lepidus, soon after Decimus Brutus is killed by brigands.
July–August — Antony is again at the head of a large army, and Octavian enters Rome in force without opposition. It is clear that Cicero’s plan to divide them against each other has failed.
