Caesar: Deaths
built 628 days ago
Julius Caesar (100-44BC) was one of the greatest men produced by ancient Rome. This essay argues that his conspirators were wrong in murdering him because they were morally wrong, his death spawned only more problems, and because the conspirators placed their interests before Rome's.

A diabase bust of Caesar. Caesar may have suffered from epilepsy. He had four documented episodes of what were probably complex partial seizures. He may additionally have had absence seizures in his youth. There is family history of epilepsy amongst his ancestors and descendants. The earliest accounts of these seizures were made by the biographer Suetonius who was born after Caesar's death. However, the claim of epilepsy is disputed by some historians and is countered by a claim of hypoglycemia, which sometimes causes epileptic-like fits.[74][75][76]
Made from highest quality Carrara Marble with genuine bronze plated armor, this Caesar Augustus bust is sure to illuminate almost any room. The original bust was made from marble and was done after his death.

In Rome dissatisfaction was growing among the senatorial aristocrats over the increasingly permanent nature of the rule of Caesar. A conspiracy was formed aimed at eliminating Caesar and restoring the government to the Senate. The conspirators hoped that, with Caesar's death, government would be restored to its old republican form and all of the factors that had produced a Caesar would disappear. The conspiracy progressed with Caesar either ignorant of it or not recognizing the warning signs. On the Ides of March (March 15), 44 B.C., he was stabbed to death in the Senate house of Pompey by a group of men that included old friends and comrades-in-arms.

In the year 1599 CE, William Shakespeare wrote a drama Julius Caesar about the death of Caesar and what happened next. He told a story of how it may have happened, that a man's good friend helped people to kill him. This type of drama is called a tragedy, that is, a story where sad or bad things happen.
