  • The assasinasion of Julius Ceasar is surely known to be one of the most significant point of the Roman Republic. This event brought about not only a domestic disturbance but also led Octavian feel a great distrust to the Senate. After the assasinion, people of Rome banished Brutus and others who planned the incident which also is the begining of the Octavian's era which is also called "Pax Romana".
    I am fond of history and particularly in the history of Rome and I share videos about it. Rome (2005) was one the best tv show and also some kind of documentary. I claim no rights of the videos I share

      I think using “you too Brutus” or “et tu brute” is seen as a bit of a cliche nowadays most modern versions of caesars dearth I’ve seen don’t include it. I think there’s also a debate about whether it was actually said at all. But you’re right I can’t remember the actors name for the life of me but the look he gives Brutus is absolutely stellar acting

    I love how clumsy Caesar's assassination was portrayed. True to history, it was incredibly sloppy but Caesar keeled over anyway because even though his killers were a bunch of politicians who never held a weapon before, he was still one unarmed man against a dozen armed assailants. He was stabbed about 23 times but only one was fatal and he died from blood loss.
    To emphasize how clumsy those senators were, the majority of the wounds was inflicted after Caesar bled out, and many of them settled with dipping their knives in his blood pool so it'd look like they were actually putting effort into killing Caesar.

      Except during the republic, most senators had spent time in the military as it was lowkey a requirement for a political career. I can't remember whether or not it was outright mandatory during this time. Either way, most senators would have done at least the bare minimum of military service. Most of the stabs were probably unnecessary and done only as a symbolic gesture, to show that they were just as much a part of the conspiracy as the specific men who actually killed Caesar.

      Actually, the scene is mostly, but not quite accurate. Caesar was autopsied after his death, and his is one of the oldest known recorded autopsies in existence today. (It's in Rome's archives). Of all the conspirators present, when it came time to act, only a handful actually attacked Caesar. He was only stabbed about 8 - 10 times . . . while he was ALIVE! Most of the wounds were inflicted after his death. The active assassins insisted that all the others present, who had stood by and watched, stab him as well, "one-for-all and -all-for-one", and all that. Those wounds were mostly superficial. Only one was absolutely fatal, a wound directly to the heart. And Brutus stabbed Caesar last and stabbed him in the groin. (OUCH!)

It was a matter of some controversy among certain senators who wanted to hold him to account for his actions in this regard. So, one should not feel excessively sad about Caesar's fate, considering his murderous campaigns in Gaul. Live by the sword, die by the sword, as they say.

    The tragic fact is, according to some sources, Caesar got a bad omen the night before, and his wife (IIRC) told him to cancel the meeting, a runner that was to inform Caesar barely missed him in his home to inform him of the assassination plot, and someone did the same by handing Caesar a letter, but he slipped it inside his sleeve to read it later.

Killing him did not magically restore the republic, it just created a power vacuum, and -- as predictably as the sun rising in the east -- other men (the second triumvirate) moved in to fill that vacuum.

      There's a theory that "You too, child" was the first half of a Greek saying that was so deeply embedded in Roman culture by that point in time, that everyone knew what the second half is.
      The full statement would have (roughly) been "You too, my child, shall one day experience power". It turns Caesar's statement from "you're betraying me too?!?!?" into more of "you'll see what it's like to be me right now soon". I like that interpretation much more.

      Pompey was an interesting man but it is somewhat difficult to get a read on him. He was often viewed by his contemporaries as weak-willed and even foolish. There is some evidence to believe his cognomen 'Magnus' or 'the great' was meant in irony. Even so it is very difficult to look at his life and achievements and conclude he was anything other than highly competent, at least in military matters.

    Some historians say Caesar was well aware of the plot that day and decided to use it politically as well as logically as his seizures were getting worse into his 50s. Image is everything and having the corrupt political establishment kill him, not only proves Caesar's point, but makes Caesar look like a martyr for the people, a hero, which destroyed any perception of him being a tyrant. He already had his affairs in order prior to being murdered and knew that Octavian would make good on both avenging him and changing the political landscape that nearly destroyed Rome. It's safe to say that without them, those corrupt Senators would've destroyed the Republic given a few more decades.

Caesar was the one who pretty much broke every Roman law, used the rotten institutions to his advantage and destroyed the republic. I'd also be interested in which way he was less corrupt than most of the other senators. If you can even call it corruption, because buying political support and extracting wealth from provinces was a normal and accepted part of the Roman political system. Btw at his death Caesar was the wealthiest man on earth. It doesn't even compare to Bezos or Musk.

    Can you imagine how it must've been for caesar? Not the stabbing but the deep feeling of betrayal?
    Casca the one who tried to attack him first was a childhood friend, Brutus, as the son of his misstress, was well known to him and he basically saved his life by pardoning him when Brutus Sided with Pompey, cassius was a close friend ; they drank wine together and discussed a good part of the previous night and he wouldve been caesar's heir if octavian passed away before caesar.

    I think it was absolute genius in how it was handled in regards his reactions. From my readings, the 3 most likely things he said was (paraphrasing) "You cannot do this to Caeser in the senate" The old "et tu Brutus" and that he said nothing. What's great about this scene is that it accounts for all that with just incredible acting and body language.

Ceasar just pardoned nearly everyone whom sided with Pompey because he wanted to avoid another Civil War by alienating those senators. After all he defeated Pompeians and Civil War essentially ended.
