The Roman Times Caesar Dies after a Tragic End March 16, 44 B.C Rome, Italy Tragic End for Our Dictator By Danielle Fasano It was a quick and tragic end for the dictator of Rome. Caesar fought long and hard to become the first man of Rome. Yesterday, March 15 44 B.C. Julius Caesar was murdered. Caesar was declared dictator by the senate, but many people feared that Caesar would overthrow the senate in a favor of tyranny. So, they killed him. Yesterday Julius Caesar was in the Theatre of Pompey when he was stabbed to death. He was wounded thirty five times. He was killed by sixty Roman senators. These senators were peers to Julius Caesar. These senators called themselves Liberators. The liberators are lead by Gaius Cassius Longinus and Marcus Junius Brutus. First, Servilius Casca stabbed him with a blade in Caesar’s left shoulder. Then Caesar was injured with a sword in his ribs and a slash at his face. Becimus Brutus pierced Caesar’s side. He was also injured with other major wounds. When Caesar died he fell at the foot of the Statue of Pompey. Some people on the scene said it was a tragic, Georginius Robinistocies said, “It was a terrible way to die. I will never get the image of Caesar getting stabbed to death out of my head.” Cleopatra, Caesars lover, said, “I will never forget him. My heart is broken. It was such a tragic end for Julius. I’m sure people all over Rome will remember him.” A local witness said, “It was the most dramatic thing I have ever seen in my life. I can not believe someone would want to kill him that badly. I never really like Caesar, but that was just terrible.” Another witness said, “Wow! I’m in complete shock. I was decided to take my sons to the Theatre of Pompey and this happens. We were just expecting to see a nice play. My youngest son could not believe it. He ran and hid behind my legs. The men that killed Caesar should be put to death immediately. I bet after this no one is going to want to become the dictator of Rome. I know I would not. I hope my sons are ok after witnessing this terrible event.” The Romans From Village to Empire http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/caesar2.htm http://enm.wikipedia.org/wiki/assassination_of_julius_caesar Your caption goes here. .
