Gaius Cassius Longinus

killed himself at Philippi believing the whole army beaten, while Brutus's wing was winning.

Recast in definition form from: “It was from a mistake of this sort, that Brutus and Cassius lost the battle of Philippi. For though Brutus was victorious with his wing of the army Cassius, whose wing was beaten, believed the entire army to be defeated, and under this belief gave way to despair and slew himself.”
