Many thought he was too powerful and felt he planned to make himself a king. A group of senators (led by Brutus and Cassius) decided to kill him. On 15th March 44BC Julius Caesar was stabbed to death with multiple dagger wounds. A bust of Julius Caesar March 15, 44BC - the Ides Of March. Caesar was brutally murdered at the Senate house by a group of armed Senate conspirators. Plutarch (Greek historian) wrote in an account that, "When the murder was newly done, there were sudden outcries of people that ran up and down the city, which indeed increase the fear and tumult." The sixty conspirators, led by Marcus Junius Brutus, Gaius Cassius Longinus, Decimus Brutus Albinus, and Gaius Trebonius, came to the meeting with daggers concealed in their togas and struck Caesar at least 23 times as he stood at the base of Pompey's statue. Legend has it that Caesar said in Greek to Brutus, “You, too, my child?” After his death, all the senators fled, and three slaves carried his body home to Calpurnia several hours later. For several days there was a political vacuum, for the conspirators apparently had no long-range plan and, in a major blunder, did not immediately kill Mark Antony (apparently by the decision of Brutus). The conspirators had only a band of gladiators to back them up, while Antony had a whole legion, the keys to Caesar's moneyboxes, and Caesar's will.

There are only nine letters during the fifteen or sixteen months Cicero at which intervene between Cicero's ' departure Pharsalia. One of these is from Cselius . August, B.C. 48.

Cicero's own letters deal mostly with the anxiety which he was feeling as to his property at home, which was at the mercy of the Csesarians, and, in case of Pompey's defeat, would doubtless be seized by the victorious party, except such of it as was capable of being concealed or held in trust by his friends.

Julius Caesar
Working Paper CEsA CSG 168/2018 ANCIENT ROMAN POLITICS – JULIUS CAESAR Maria SOUSA GALITO Abstract Julius Caesar (JC) survived two civil wars: first, leaded by Cornelius Sulla and Gaius Marius; and second by himself and Pompeius Magnus. Until he was stabbed to death, at a senate session, in the Ides of March of 44 BC. JC has always been loved or hated, since he was alive and throughout History. He was a war hero, as many others. He was a patrician, among many. He was a roman Dictator, but not the only one. So what did he do exactly to get all this attention? Why did he stand out so much from the crowd? What did he represent? JC was a front-runner of his time, not a modern leader of the XXI century; and there are things not accepted today that were considered courageous or even extraordinary achievements back then. This text tries to explain why it’s important to focus on the man; on his life achievements before becoming the most powerful man in Rome; and why he stood out from every other man. Keywords Caesar, Politics, Military, Religion, Assassination. Sumário Júlio César (JC) sobreviveu a duas guerras civis: primeiro, lideradas por Cornélio Sula e Caio Mário; e depois por ele e Pompeius Magnus. Até ser esfaqueado numa sessão do senado nos Idos de Março de 44 AC. JC foi sempre amado ou odiado, quando ainda era vivo e ao longo da História. Ele foi um herói de guerra, como outros. Ele era um patrício, entre muitos. Ele foi um ditador romano, mas não o único.

Sparavigna (2) (1) Liceo Mariano Buratti, Viterbo (2) DISAT, Politecnico di Torino, Torino On 10 January 49 BC, leading the Legion XIII Gemina, general Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon River, the boundary between Cisalpine Gaul and Italy proper. This Caesar's military action, forbidden to any army-leading general, began the civil war. During the first period of this war, Caesar and Pompey, the commander of Senatorial forces, are engaged in some indirect tactics that included emersion and organization of their supporters. Both Caesar and Pompey (their profiles in Fig.1) have interest in getting the support of Massilia (Marseille), one of the most important cities of the western Mediterranean basin. Approaching Massilia in April 49, Caesar, who was marching to Spain, finds its gates closed: the town, although claiming its neutrality, is allied with Domitius Ahenobarbus, a Pompeian. Caesar, as he is writing in his Commentarii on the civil war, feels deeply insulted; after this hostile action, he leaves the newly raised XVII, XVIII, and XIX legions, under the command of Gaius Trebonius, to conduct a siege against Massilia. At the same time, he orders the neighboring Arelate (Arles) to prepare twelve warships. Differently from Massilia, people of Arles had already joined Caesar’s leadership. Quickly prepared in thirty days, the warships, under the command of Decimus Brutus, move to Massilia to participate its siege. In the beginning of June 49 BC, Caesar reaches Spain, where the Pompeian legates surrendre.

The Second Triumvirate declared this civil war ostensibly to avenge Julius Caesar's assassination in 44 BC, but the underlying cause was a long brewing class conflict between the ancien regime represented in the Senate (Optimates), and the rising class (Populares).

The first occurred in the first week of October; Brutus faced Octavian, while Antony's forces fought those of Cassius. At first, Brutus pushed back Octavian and entered his legions' camp. But to the south, Cassius was defeated by Antony, and committed suicide after hearing a false report that Brutus had also failed. Brutus rallied Cassius' remaining troops and both sides ordered their army to retreat to their camps with their spoils, and the battle was essentially a draw, but for Cassius' suicide.

Pro Caelio and the Leges De Vi of Rome in the Late Republic
CICERO'S PRO CAELIO AND THE LEGES DE VI OF ROME IN THE LATE REPUBLIC by REBECCA KISELEWICH A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts with Honors in Classics WILLIAMS COLLEGE Williamstown, Massachusetts FEBRUARY, 2004 There is no system of law which affords a more favorable field for such researches [into judicial development] than that of Rome. Roman law occupies, in this regard, a place apart, which it owes, also, to the abundance of documents of every kind, always permitting the investigation of it to be approached from some new side; and which it owes, further, to the enormous mass of work which has been put into it during centuries by generations of commentators. - P.
