the dictator of Rome 49-44 B.C. While he ruled Rome, he reformed Rome. He relieved debt, and
made the senate larger, and he built buildings like the forum and he redid the calendar. Rome did

The Ides of March is a famous name of Caesars assassination. He died in the year 44
B.C. The senate didnt like his ideas. Caesar was preparing for another battle in the east and he
was indestructible. Members of the Senate made a plan to assassinate him. Cassius Longinus
started to plot the murder first then got Caesars brother-in-law Marcus Brutus involved. Julius
knew that members of the Senate hated him and he got a warning during a meeting, but he
ignored it. He walked into a roomful of men with their daggers and these men were Senates.
The first one who attacked him was Cassius who had hit him in the neck causing him to
bleed. Then, everyone else joined in attacking. However, there was a lot of conspiracy going on
after his death. Cassius and Brutus celebrated Caesars death as the Ides of March. However,
after he died the next heir was his adopted nephew Octavian. Brutus and Cassius started a
Republican Army and Octavian wanted revenge. After a few years both Brutus and Cassius
killed themselves after Octavians army defeated their Republican army. Octavian is aslo knows
as Augustus who is known as the first official Roman Emperor. In Caesars lifetime, he had three
wives, he was a member of the military, a governor, a dictator, a successful politician, and was a
very influential individual of Romes history. Without Caesar, we probably wont have the
calendar we have today, and Rome wouldnt have gotten and Emperor if it wasnt for him and
Augustus.
