Dear Podszilla,

Greetings from Aslansfriend. You edited "the battle of Philippi" on 08/26/2006 and included under the section "The first battle of Philippi" the following paragraph "Alternative sources credit the avarice of Brutus's troops as the factor that undid their definitive victory on October 3. Premature looting and gathering of booty by Brutus's advancing forces allowed Octavian's troops to re-form their line. In Octavian's future reign as Emperor, a common battle cry became, "Complete the battle once begun!""

I am working on researching the lasting effects of the battle on the community in Philippi in the first century and I am very interested in finding the original sources for the battle cry "complete the battle once begun!" as a consequence of the army´s premature looting and not completing the battle. Could you please tell me where you found this information? I am looking for it desperately.

Thank you very much. Your help is very much appreciated!

All the best,
