Among the assassins were several senators, including his own friends, Cassius and Brutus. \u003cbr/\u003eTwo tourists from the US say since Caesar was such an important historical figure, it is good to remember his death.\u003cbr/\u003eRoman historian Suetonius, and the Greek historian Plutarch, both write that Julius Caesar was a great political leader and military chief.\u003cbr/\u003eFearing Julius Caesar could be made king of Rome, 60 conspirators led by Brutus and Cassius, stabbed him to death during a  Senate meeting.\u003cbr/\u003eJulius Caesar's sudden and brutal death, his military and political career, and his love affairs, have made him one of the most fascinating historical characters. \u003cbr/\u003eOliver, from the UK, says Caesar's death should be remembered.\u003cbr/\u003eAccording to myth, in the days prior his death, Caesar had several dreams about the possibility of a conspiracy and his assassination. \u003cbr/\u003eBenedetta Bessi, a professor of cultural studies, says there is a lot of mystery surrounding the death of Caesar.\u003cbr/\u003eBessi says one of the reasons Romans celebrate his death is due to Shakespeare's dramatisation of the events.\u003cbr/\u003eShakespeare's play, 'Julius Caesar', recounts the events that led to the emperor's assassination.\u003cbr/\u003eHis last words are not known with certainty, and are contested by scholars and historians alike. \u003cbr/\u003eThe version best known is the Latin phrase 'Et tu, Brute? (you too, Brutus)', from Shakespeare's play. \u003cbr/\u003eSuetonius reports that Caesar's last words were 'You too, my child?' spoken in Greek. \u003cbr/\u003ePlutarch, on the other hand, reports that Caesar said nothing, pulling his toga over his head when he saw Brutus among the conspirators. \u003cbr/\u003eDespite what many believe Caesar may have said, it is impossible to know for sure.\u003cbr/\u003eBassi says Caesar's famous last words have been disputed for a very long time.\u003cbr/\u003eThe immediate effect of Caesar's death was a civil war which ultimately led to the establishment of a permanent autocracy by Caesar's adopted heir, Octavian. \u003cbr/\u003eIn 42 BC, two years after his assassination, the Senate officially sanctified Caesar as one of the Roman deities. \u003cbr/\u003eKeyword wacky\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false'
