Who were the conspirators against Caesar and why did they want him gone?

The conspirators against Caesar were a group of prominent Roman politicians and senators. They feared Caesar would use his high levels of popularity to have himself declared king and to destroy the Roman Republic. They thought that Caesar was likely to rule as a tyrant, and they wanted to preserve the power of the Senatorial class. The conspirators killed Caesar on 15 March 44 BC by stabbing him repeatedly on the steps to the Roman Forum. There were supposedly 40 Senators who plotted to kill Caesar. Some of their names were: * Marcus Junius Brutus (Caesar's close friend and possible illegitimate son; according to some historians Caesar cried out "You too, my child!" when he was attacked by Brutus) * Gaius Cassius Longinus * Servius Sulpicius Galba * Servilius Casca.

What did Julius Caesar's leadership ability and military victories convince the senates of?

It convinced the senators that Caesar was a big threat to the senate. The senate ordered him to disband his armies after the end of the Gallic Wars in which Caesar conquered Gaul. These troops were very good, battle-hardened veterans who were very loyal to Caesar. His victories also gave him prestige and popularity with the people in Rome. The senate was afraid that Caesar would use his armies and popularity to seize power. Caesar refused to obey the order and marched on Rome with his soldiers from northern Italy. He started the civil war.

Can you give me a sentence using the word excuse?

There could be 2 different ways to use "excuse." "Please excuse me from the table." In this use, "excuse" means "Please forgive me for leaving the table." This is the same usage for "Excuse me." used when you pass someone, bump into someone, or interrupt someone. OR "That's not a good excuse." This one is a little confusing. The word is used as a "reason," as in "That's not a good reason." This definition is faulty. A reason is not an excuse, and an excuse is not a reason. To excuse irrational behavior, or to excuse an irrational explanation is an excuse. A rationalization is making a poor explanation sound like a good reason. A rationale is an explanation of a good reason.


How did the feelings and actions of Brutus lead to the tragedy of Julius Caesar?

Brutus was among a group of Roman senators that believed Julius Caesar had too much power. Brutus felt that any hope of returning Rome back into some form of a republic would be lost if Caesar was allowed to continue on the path he was following. Brutus believed that Julius Caesar wanted to become the king of the Roman empire. Brutus became a secret enemy of Caesar. He certainly had fear of his own life as Caesar had dictatorial powers and could use them against any internal Roman foe. Based on this Brutus conspired to assassinate Julius Caesar. The deed was accomplished in the Senate chambers and Brutus was among those who stabbed Caesar to death, thus the tragedy of Caesar and the lament of Caesar's friends.
