Why did the senate kill Caesar?

Answer 1

In the end it all basically comes down to one thing: Power. Yes, Caesar may have been arrogant and impatient, but the real reason for his dislike was his power. The senate was always used to the equal power of the Roman Republic among the senators, and when Caesar became Dictator, they did not like it at all.

Caesar was hugely popular with the plebians and common folk, being as he had always sent his plunder in Gaul to be sent back and handed out to the citizens. He was also very popular with his troops, all of which gained tremendous respect for him during the Gallic wars.

Because of all this, the Senate disliked him.

Answer 3

The senate did not particularly dislike Julius Caesar. Most liked him, as he was a very charismatic personality. It was only a small group of "patriots" who were in on the plot to kill Caesar. The conspirators were between 30 and 60 (the sources vary); the senate consisted of 900 at the time of Caesar. Given those numbers, one can hardly say that the senate disliked Julius Caesar.

Answer 4

It is not true that the senate did not like Julius Caesar. The senate was the body that gave Caesar all his honors and authority as a reward. It was only a very few senators who participated in the assassination plot. At any given time there were at least 600 senators making up the Roman senate and it is said that Caesar added more to this number. There were only, at the most, 60 senators involved in the plot, possibly less, depending upon your source. That's excellent proof that Caesar was popular in the senate. The few who conspired against Caesar were idealists and thought that they were saving the republic by eliminating Caesar.
