 This triumvirate of new leaders was established in 43 BC as the "Triumviri Rei Publicae Constituendae Consulari Potestate" (Triumvirs for Confirming the Republic with Consular Power, abbreviated as III VIR RPC).Where the first triumvirate was essentially a private agreement, the second was embedded in the constitution formally joining Octavian, Antony, and Lepidus in shared rule over Rome.The only other office which had ever been qualified "for confirming the Republic" was the dictatorship of Lucius Cornelius Sulla; the only limit on the powers of the Triumvirate was the five-year term set by law.
