The Death of Julius Caesar...What does the saying "Beware the Ides of March!" mean? It refers to the day - March 15, 44 BCE - on which Gaius Julius Caesar, a one-time dictator of ancient Rome, was murdered. His grisly assassination was legendary. But just as infamous were the conspirators behind one of the most well-known deaths in history. So just who had Julius Caesar killed?

    Julius Caesar: Died surrounded by friends and family
  • If anything this just further proves that the assassins really had no idea what they were doing.
  • imagine people still talking about your death two thousand years later in great detail. That's insane.
  • "So you killed Caesar to save the roman republic." Brutus: "yes" "what did it cost?" Brutus: "The Roman republic."
  • @malic_zarith
    This assassination was one of the dumbest plans in history. Can't imagine how something like this would backfire.
  • Senate: We finally killed Caesar, we saved the republic Augustus Octavian: Makes Rome a Empire anyway Senate: 👁👄👁
  • @TaeSunWoo
    They killed Caesar then Octavian happened. Perfect irony

    What a shame that that poor poet died for another Cinna's sin. Still.. I bet he'd have appreciated the wordplay.
  • @ginasreview1030
    All of them expect one, who lived an extra 40 years, they either killed themselves or were murdered. Was it even worth it? Nope, for me not really. But hey, al the choices you make in life, good or bad, has consequences.

    "we did it, we saved the republic" Augustus: "oh, I don't think so"

    Caesar's last words were "name a salad after me."
  • It is one of history’s greatest “what ifs.” If Caesar had lived the Roman Empire could have stretched to the Indus River and the Caucus Mountains. Caesar is likely to have developed an acceptable protocol for succession, the greatest weakness of the empire. Caesar was truly one of the greatest persons of all time. He was a natural leader, an author, a great tactician, an impressive engineer, a lawyer, and more. One would be hard pressed to find an equal (at least in the West). Many criticize him for destroying the Republic, but the truth is the Republic was dead and decaying. There would have been an autocrat regardless of Caesar. I look at today’s politicians and leaders and there are none that are worthy of shiny his red boots!

    It seemed like he treated everyone pretty well. About half of the senators were senators because Cesar arranged it.  They just thought he was too powerful even though he hadn't abused his power yet. He was very popular with the people. What did they think was going to happen?
  • Not the oldest your mom joke. I know of at least one that predates this by a few decades. Cicero is being mocked by another Senator for his humble country origin being asked “Who is your father?” To which Cicero responds: “For you, your mother has made that quite a difficult question to answer.”

    "Hello. My name is Augustus Caeser. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

    "In the wake of the attack, Decimus wound up fleeing Rome and disguising himself as a Gaul. The gall of that guy. His one-man witness relocation programme didn't last long though". I shouldn't have laughed, but I did.
