Julius Caesar's Assassination

"Beware the Ides of March!" How did Julius Caesar die? What happened in the senate house in 44BC? And why did Shakespeare write about it? Learn about the fateful assassination of Caesar on 15th March 44BC, with excerpts from Suetonius. **Correction** Decimus Brutus did not fight on Pompey's side in the civil war, he was on Caesar's side and was loved like a son by Caesar.
