How does Antony avenge the death of Caesar?

Antony is Caesar’s ally and supporter. After Caesar's assassination, Antony first pretended to shake hands with the senators, saying that all that he asked for was to give a speech at Caesar's funeral, and he promised not to say anything against the conspirators. However, at the funeral, he uses his oratory skills to stir up fury in the crowd without condemning Brutus and his accomplices directly. In this way, he successfully turns the public against the conspirators to the extent that Brutus and Cassius have no choice but to run away. Then he unites with Octavius, Caesar's son, to prepare for military action and eventually defeated the conspirators in a battle at Philippi. Brutus and Cassius both die at Philippi. Later Antony gradually eliminates the remaining forces of the Republic and resumes the unfinished cause of Caesar.
