Question

What was the consequence after the death of julius caesar?

Answer 1

On March 15, 44 BCE, Julius Caesar was stabbed to death in Rome, Italy. Caesar was the dictator of the Roman Republic, and his assassins were Roman senators, fellow politicians who helped shape Roman policy and government.

 

Julius Caesar was immensely popular with the people of Rome. He was a successful military leader who expanded the republic to include parts of what are now Spain, France, Germany, Switzerland, and Belgium. Caesar was also a popular author who wrote about his travels, theories, and political views. 

 

Many members of the Senate, a group of appointed (not elected) political leaders, resented Caesar’s popularity and increasing power. Calling themselves the “Liberators,” this group invited Caesar to a sporting event, where about 40 of them stabbed him to death. 

 

The death of Julius Caesar ultimately had the opposite impact of what the Liberators hoped. The majority of the Roman public hated the senators for the assassination, and a long series of civil wars ensued. In the end, Caesar’s nephew Octavian emerged as Rome’s leader. He re-named himself Caesar Augustus. This was the end of the Roman Republic and the start of the Roman Empire.
