Antony agreed, and at once the Assembly was called and a law passed tendering pardon to all concerned thus was civil war averted. Cæsar was dead, but Rome was safe.
Nay, he went farther than the actual conspirators, in words at least; it is curious to find him so careful to disclaim complicity in the act. "Would that you had invited me to that banquet on the Ides of March! there would then have been no leavings from the feast", he writes to Cassius.
