Assassination of Julius Caesar
The
assassination of Julius Caesar
was the result of a
conspiracy
by many
Roman senators
. Led by
Gaius Cassius Longinus
and
Marcus Junius Brutus
, they stabbed
Julius Caesar
to death in a location adjacent to the
Theatre of Pompey
on the
Ides of March
(March 15), 44 BC. Caesar was the
dictator
of the
Roman Republic
at the time, having recently been declared
dictator perpetuo
by the
Senate
. This declaration made several senators fear that Caesar wanted to overthrow the Senate in favor of
tyranny
. The conspirators were unable to restore the
Roman Republic
. The ramifications of the assassination led to the
Liberators' civil war
and, ultimately, to the
Principate
period of the
Roman Empire
.
