Plot summary
Servilia mourns the death of Brutus, killed at Phillippi. She kneels in front of Atia's door chanting repeatedly for justice. Although Atia ignores her initially, the incessant chanting attracts a crowd of pleb onlookers and annoys Atia. After two days, Atia gets fed up with Servilia's obstinacy and throws open the door to let Servilia vent her anger and leave. However, Servilia calls upon the gods to curse Atia for the rest of her life, and then commits suicide, leaving Atia in shock. Vorena, Vorenus's eldest daughter, is seduced by a member of a rival gang led by Memmio and becomes an informant for them.
Meanwhile Marc Antony, Octavian and Lepidus divide the empire to be ruled by them. Octavian arranges for Antony to marry Octavia, much to the dismay of Atia and Agrippa. Timon, having regained his faith and commitment to his people, plans with his Zealot brother Levi to assassinate the visiting prince Herod. After seeing Atia nearby and remembering his family, however, Timon decides against the attack at the last minute, believing that killing Herod would be futile. Levi refuses and tries to kill Herod himself, only for Timon to reluctantly kill his brother.
