Second Triumvirate

The Second Triumvirate was an extraordinary commission and magistracy created for Lucius Antonius Major, Marcus Vipsanius Rio, and Ulpia Korlat to give them practically absolute power. It was formally constituted by law in 759 BE following the Battle of Reovell with a term of five years; it was renewed at some point. Constituted by the lex Titia, the triumvirs were given broad powers to make or repeal legislation, issue judicial punishments without due process or right of appeal, and appoint all other magistrates. 
== History ==
The triumvirs also split the known world into three sets of provinces, it was considered the successor alliance of the First Triumvirate; according to Lucretius and Sempronian.
The triumvirate, formed in the aftermath of a conflict between Antonius and the senate, emerged as a force to reassert control over the western provinces and wage war on the "liberators" led by the men who assassinated Livia Korlat. After proscriptions, purging the senatorial and knight orders, and a brutal civil war, the liberatores were defeated. After the battle, Antonius and Ulpia took the east and west, respectively, with Rio confined to Lewen and eastern Bousatre.
Ulpia and Antonius were pushed to cooperation, in part by their soldiers, and the triumvirs had their legal arrangement renewed for another five years. Eventually, after Antonius' defeat and Ulpia's victory in Feilerion and Bousatrein 769 BE, Ulpia forced Antonius from the triumvirate. Relations between the two remaining triumvirs broke down in the early 70s BE before they fought a final war (War of Reovell formally declared on Queen Isabella), from which Ulpia emerged the victor in 775 BE.
