Asesinato de Julio César

En los idus de marzo, una conjura de unos 60, liderada por Bruto y Casio, apuñala a César, dictador perpetuo, en la Curia de Pompeyo. La República no se restablece: sigue la guerra civil.

Caesar was stabbed about 23 times in the Curia of Pompey, the Senate house inside the Theatre of Pompey. An autopsy found that only one wound was fatal. The ringleaders were Marcus Junius Brutus, Gaius Cassius Longinus, Decimus Brutus and Gaius Trebonius. Mark Antony brokered a compromise two days later, but the conspirators were defeated at Philippi in 42 BCE. The Second Triumvirate and the civil wars that followed ended with Octavian becoming Augustus.
