	===Act 3, Scene 6===		===Act 3, Scene 6===
	In a dialogue between Caesar, Agrippa and Maecenas Caesar tells about ~~Cleopatra's and~~ Antony's and Cleopatra's sons' coronation to be monarchs of several kingdoms. At the same time, Antony accuses Caesar for not having offered him his part of Pompey's Sicily and of the unjustified disposal of Lepidus. Later Octavia comes back to Rome, unexpectedly. Caesar is shocked by her plain arrival. In Athens Octavia had heard about Caesar's preparations for a war against Antony, so she came back to Rome in order to stop Caesar's aggressions. But Caesar tells her the truth about Antony, that he no longer is in Athens but in Alexandria and that it is him who is preparing a war. That is how he convinces Octavia to stay in Rome.
