Death of Julius Caesar

Below you will discover ten images depicting the Death of Julius Caesar. Caesar’s death occurred on March 15, 44 BC, a date known as the Ides of March. As Caesar’s power grew—after being named dictator for life—many senators feared he intended to become a king and destroy the Roman Republic. A group of about 60 conspirators, including trusted allies like Brutus and Cassius, plotted his assassination. They lured him to a meeting in the Theatre of Pompey, where they attacked and stabbed him 23 times. His assassination plunged Rome into further civil wars, eventually leading to the rise of the Roman Empire under Octavian (Augustus).
