Description: A proper understanding of Cicero, Phil. 1, 3 and 2, 91, reveals that the Senate did not impose an outright ban on the publication of Caesar's archives, but that Cicero only wanted to mislead his readers, such as Dio (44, 53, 4 and 45, 23, 7), into thinking that the Senate did. Cicero's letters reveal that Antony behaved more moderately in the months immediately following the assassination of Caesar than is commonly believed. [Da APh]
