While these events were in progress,Fulvia was dead.The death seemed extremely fortunate to both of the parties who were rid of her.Nevertheless,Antony was much saddened by this event because he considered himself in some sense the cause of it.There was a certain Lucius Cocceius,who had been sent ,in company with Caecina, by Octavian,the previous summer, to Antony in Phoenicia, and had remained with Antony after Caecina returned.This Cocceius pretended that he had been sent for by Octavian.When Antony allowed him to go he asked,by way of testing his disposition,whether Antony would like to write any letter to Octavian making use of himself as his messenger.Antony replied:"I wrote letters in reply to his of some time ago,which I sent by the hand of Caecina.Take copies of those."

"I gave no order on that subject," replied Octavian,"for I did not know beforehand that he was coming, nor did I anticipate that he would come here with enemies.The Brundusians themselves and the praefect, who had been left with them on account of the raids of Ahenobarbus, of their own motion excluded Antony."
