Anniversary of the death of Julius Caesar (March 15 of 44 BC)

[Dave24]

Julius Caesar

, the Roman dictator, was assassinated by a group of senators on the Ides of March (15 March) of 44 BC during a meeting of the Senate at the Theatre of Pompey in Rome. The senators stabbed Caesar 23 times. The senators claimed to be acting over fears that Caesar's unprecedented concentration of power during his dictatorship was undermining the Roman Republic, and presented the deed as an act of tyrannicide. At least 60 senators were party to the conspiracy, led by Marcus Brutus, Gaius Cassius and Decimus Brutus. Despite the death of Caesar, the conspirators were unable to restore the institutions of the Republic. The ramifications of the assassination led to the Liberators' civil war and ultimately to the Principate period of the Roman Empire.

it’s a VERY slow burn...I liked the comradery between the 2 main characters so I continued to watch but the story really dragged

"Caesar may have conquered Gaul, but Nicomedes conquered Caesar" was a popular marching song among Caesar's soldiers.

Cato called him, "a husband to every wife and a wife to every husband

One colleague, Bibulus, addressed Caesar as “the queen of Bithynia.”

“Men of Rome, watch out for your wives,

We’re bringing the bald adulterer home.

In Gaul he f*cked his way through a fortune

Which he borrowed here in Rome.”

Caesar was taking the bussy away. They wasn’t feeling that all

The greatest irony is that killing creh, lead to the exact concentration of power that the senators [allegedly ] feared.


Assasination is often counter-intuitive. You saw a similar thing play out with Lincoln and JFK, where the act of eliminating these men, by their enemies, lead these men’s movements to grow stronger in their death.



An interesting “what if” scenario would be: what if the senators let ceasar live? I think the senators might have corrupted dude’s image if they had more time. If Ceasar’s power was predicated on the military, then the well connected senators might’ve been able to sew dissension in its ranks.

But they did go to war.. For over half a millenia
