Julius Caesar Assassination

Caesar was an honorable man and was never proven to be a potentially poor leader. Rome loved him as he loved Rome. He even refused the crown when it was offered to him, to quote Casca mentioning it to Cassius and Brutus,”And he put it thrice, each time gentler than the other.” (I,ii, pg. 10). There is no substantial proof that Caesar would have been bad enough of a leader to justify a political assassination.

Caesar was a great military leader, he was a man of strength, and he conquered all of Rome. Caesar was not afraid to take charge to take Rome high and make them more powerful. If he had to Caesar would kill anyone that stood in his way of making Rome more powerful. “Kill everyone inside” “without hesitation, his men, swords drown, burst inside the bar, and soon the street was quiet.”

Have you ever wondered who killed Julius Caesar? It was a dark day that day you know March 15Th 44 BC the day that Julius Caesar was brutally murdered at the meeting in the Senate building. The people who were responsible for the assassination of Julius Caesar were Brutus, Cassius, and other members of the Senate. The first member of the Senate that took part in Julius’s murder was his thought to be friend Brutus.

The death of a man, Julius Caesar. In 44 B.C. Julius Caesar the Roman dictator was loved by many citizens of Rome, but he was not loved by all. Some citizens of Rome hated Julius many of them in the senate. Two big conspirators of his death were Brutus and Cassius.

This paper aims to make an insightful comparison of two great leaders of history whom were assassinated by conspirators during the height of their political lives. By exploring the assassination and lives of these two men we can more clearly understand the historical and social events that underpin a conspiracy as grand as these. The life and death of Julius Caesar is one of the original grand conspiracies in history, as his ambition grew so did the envy of his fellow senators. Julius Caesar was born to a noble family and inherited a relatively high status in ancient Rome’s hierarchy.

The assassination of Julius Caesar differed from Abraham Lincoln in many ways some of which were the motives of the assassinators. The motive of Abraham Lincoln’s assassin was civil rights. John Wilkes Booth was a white supremacist and believed blacks people were not equal. Based on these motives Booth felt that it was right to kill the president.

Julius Caesar was one of Rome’s most successful and outstanding leaders. The question of whether or not he deserved to die is very simple. No, Julius Caesar did not deserve to be assassinated for the good of Rome because he was the good of Rome. Politically, militaristically, and economically he benefited Rome. Did the conspirators kill Caesar for the good of Rome or for their own personal motives?

In the greatness of ancient Rome, an evil act took place that destroyed the balance of power and changed the course of history. Even though some have praised Julius Caesar's assassination as a courageous attempt to protect the Republic, it is clear that it was a planned murderous act that called for legal consequences. Senators became irritated with Julius Caesar as he made changes and grew in power. On March 44 BCE, a group of conspirators assassinated Caesar within the Senate walls. The assassination of Julius Caesar was a determined act of violence that should be punished under the law, despite political motives and noble intentions.

There are many thoughts and views of the tragedy of Julius Caesar. I don't think he should have been murdered for having a different view about something. We as humans are all different in many ways and think differently. Killing someone because of what they think is wrong. This would mean our society would have to be a utopia which is impossible.

They would consider him a bad man because he would have done so many bad things if he were crowned at the ceremony. The conspirators make this plan so that Caesar does not get crowned. They were scared that he would become a dictator, if this were to happen he would have been a harsh and strict as a ruler. The conspirators were all ready to assassinate Caesar because they did not want the horrible dictatorship.

The Senate, did not kill Caesar. It was a group of resentful and angry Senators, such as Cassius and Brutus who disliked Caesar. Some Senators supported Caesar. There are two conflicting reasons on the assassination of Caesar.

Since Caesar had defeated Pompey, a military and political leader during the Roman Republic, in battle and was a roman general at the time, Caesar went on to conquer and take control of Gaul ( modern day France) and allied himself with Cleopatra in Egypt by marrying her. Caesar was expecting to become dictator for life because of his accomplishments without the Senate voting on him. This shows that Caesar wanted anything that would better him in life and brings us to the next topic about how Caesar didn’t think about others first. This shows that Caesar wanted anything that would better him in life.

he killed Caesar because Caesar was going to lead rome in the wrong direction. he lied to his fellow leaders of Rome because it was the only way he knew how to make is home Rome the greatest city. as stated

The conspirators feel no one person should have to much power while the Roman people want their beloved Caesar to rule over them. We should not kill Caesar even though granted illegal citizenship to those who lived in Gaul and over the years has put many of them in the Senate. Caesar may have done this to get new perspectives in the senate-house instead of having the same narrow-minded people all the time ( Baker, 118 ). He made a law saying that it is illegal to wage war without the other party attacking first. Shortly after this, he broke his law in Gaul while serving his proconsul.

Caesar was loved by the majority thus, almost worshiped because of the light and greatness he has brought to the beloved city of Rome. Every decision and every move that was made by him was considered the right path. "My heart laments that virtue cannot live out of the teeth of emulation" is a quote said by one of Caesar's admirers; this quote creates a wedge between the two views people had about him. The minority, or the dangerously bright group, marked this Roman as unjust, evil, corrupt and a tyrant to be. Also, a man of lies that uses his people's love for his own benefit; this group had these thoughts for the sake of not wanting a greedy and dreadful dictator or simply being jealous.
