Julius Caesar was assassinated by Roman senators on March 15, 44 BCE. This date is also known as the Ides of March.
Extra: Julius Caesar was a Roman general, statesman, and a dictator who played a critical role in the events that led to the demise of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Roman Empire. His assassination was the result of a conspiracy by many Roman senators led by Gaius Cassius Longinus and Marcus Junius Brutus. They stabbed him to death in the Senate house during a session. Caesar's death precipitated a series of civil wars in Rome, which ultimately led to the end of the Roman Republic and the beginning of the Roman Empire under Augustus, who was Caesar’s adopted heir. The Ides of March has since become synonymous with a day of unforeseen betrayal.
