Paal_101 Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 ....on the Ides of March, Gaius Julius Caesar was stabbed 23 times by members of the Roman Senate lead by Decimus Junius Brutus Albinus (who was stabbed in the hand by an errant dagger during the frenzy) and Gaius Cassius Longinus. After this day the events were set in motion that would lead to the creation of the Second Triumvirate, out of which would come the first Emperor of Rome, Augustus.

Argalius Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Pretty funny, because this sunday, the serie Rome ended with the murder on Caesar. It can't be a coincidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 On the other hand, Caesar may have orchestrated his own death. To me, that's a probable scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paal_101 Posted March 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 The glorious death by murder rather than a death from disease, very plausible. He was certainly smart enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paal_101 Posted March 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Another date of Roman significance - On this day (March 18) in 37 AD, the Roman Senate annulled the will of Tiberius Caesar and announced that Gaius Julius Germancus, better known as Caligula, Emperor of Rome. Alot seems to have happened in Roman politics during the months of January through to June Must have kept quiet in the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
