Caesar said in Latin to Casca, "Casca, you villain, what are you doing?"Casca became frightened and shouted out in Greek, "Help, brother!" and within moments, all of the politicians including Brutus began attacking Caesar. He attempted to get away but blinded by blood, he tripped and fell and they continued to stab him as he lay defenseless on the steps.Over sixty men were involved in his assassination. An examination of his body later by a physician showed that he was stabbed twenty-three times but it was only one wound that had been lethal - the second blow to his chest.After the assassination, Brutus stepped forward as if to make a speech to his fellow senators but they fled the building and then he and his followers ran throughout the city shouting, "People of Rome, we are once again free!" They were met with silence as the citizens had locked themselves in as soon as rumors of what was happening began to spread.Afterwards, they made a wax statue of Caesar that depicted all 23 stab wounds he had received in the forum.

How many times was Julius Caesar stabbed?
The answer in drama is different from the answer in history.Answer 1:23 times. According to the historians Suetonius, Appian and Plutarch, he was stabbed 23 times in total. According to Suetonius, only one wound, the second one was fatal. Casca struck the first blow and Brutus the last. This is the right answer if you are talking about the historical figure. Answer 2:33 times. According to Octavius in the play by Shakespeare (Act V Scene 1), Julius Caesar was stabbed 33 times. Casca was the first to strike and Brutus the last. This is the right answer if you are asking about the character in the play. Answer 3:41 times. Julius Caesar went to a dinner with his friends, hoping that he would have a good feed and be able to discuss future matters of Ancient Rome. But his friends were worried about his leadership so they stabbed him 41 times in the back. This story does not have any basis either in Shakespeare's play or in the Latin historians, who are universal in saying that Caesar was murdered in the Senate house, and died at the foot of Pompey's statue. Basically, this story is apocryphal nonsense.
