The scene opens up at the fields of Philippi. Octavius and Antony are content with the fact that their enemies are approaching. Antony asks Octavius to take the left side of the plains, while he takes the right side. Octavius insists that his army take the right side.
Next, before the battle, the leaders of the armies convey in the middle of the battlefield. Antony accuses Brutus and Cassius of being villains for what they did to Caesar. Cassius confesses that if he had a greater say in things, then Antony would have been killed along with Caesar.
Octavius then draws his sword and says that he will not put it away until all thirty-three of Caesar’s stab-wounds have been avenged. A few more harsh words are exchanged between the groups. Before long, they part ways.
The scene turns back to Cassius and Brutus’ group. Cassius tells his friend Messala that it is his birthday. Things aren’t looking so good for them on this day of all days. Ravens, crows, and kites are flying over their heads as if the men are sickly prey on which the birds are waiting to feast upon. Cassius has never really believed in omens, but today he kind of does believe in them.
Cassius, next, turns his attention to Brutus. They are both aware that this might be their final battle together. They say farewell to each other just in case they don’t make it through.
