Respuesta :
An inquiry into this incident reveals something important about the nature of political rule, class power, and a people's struggle for democracy and social justice---issues that are still very much with us. The assassination also marked a turning point in the history of Rome. It set in motion a civil war, and put an end to whatever democracy there had been, ushering in an absolutist rule that would prevail over Western Europe for centuries to come.
Answer:
Julius Caesar was killed by conspirators near the theater of Pompey. At the time of the assassination, he was serving as the Dictator. Although he was popular among middle-class Romans he was despised by Senators as they were afraid of his powers as a dictator. Two of his former enemies Brutus and Longinus were involved in his assassination. So when Caesar was declared the dictator for life by the Senates, many factions in Rome feared that he wanted to overthrow the republic and establish a monarchy. Hence they decided to kill him to save the republic.
