Caesar: Mark Antony
built 641 days ago
Caius Cassius plots a conspiracy to murder Caesar, enlisting the support of the well-respected Marcus Brutus. Brutus has misgivings but is persuaded that Caesar’s death is necessary for the good of the Roman Republic. However, he rejects Cassius’ proposal that Mark Antony, close friend of Caesar, should ... be killed.

This manoeuvre would have ensured that Caesar would retain his commands until the end of 49. However, the question of replacing Caesar was actually raised in the Senate a number of times from 51 onward; each time Caesar had the dangerous proposals vetoed by tribunes of the plebs who were his agents--particularly Gaius Scribonius Curio in 50 and Mark Antony in 49.
