On This Day March 15

Julius Caesar was killed at the senate house by a republican group during the Ides of March (March 15, 44 BC.) The 60 people involved in the plot included Brutus the son of his mistress. They feared Caesar was going to make himself King of Rome. 23 daggers in total were thrust into Caesar and he struggled until he saw his supposedly faithful friend, Brutus. After the murder Brutus and the other murderers had their homes set on fire by angry crowds.
