  • In an attempt to arrange peace, the Senate, on the motion of Fulius Calenus, sent these three senior consulars as Envoys to Mark Antony to report the following terms: to cease his attack on Decimus Brutus and withdraw from Cisalpine Gaul (but stay more than 200 miles from Rome), to submit to the authority of the Senate and People, and to permit an interview with Decimus Brutus; if he failed to comply he should face a declaration of war (Cic. Phil. 6.4-5; 7.26; 9.1; 13.20; 14.20; Fam. 11. 8; 12.4. 1, and 24, and 26). Antony refused these terms and sent back with them a Legate (see below) bearing counter-proposals (Cic.
