Caesar's death was good in the eyes of his assassins and bad for Rome. His assassins killed him because they thought he wanted to become a king. The Roman Republic had been created nearly 500 years earlier when the last king of Rome was deposed because he was a tyrant and the monarchy was abolished. The purpose of the Republic was to prevent the return of tyranny. The assassin equated a king with tyranny. Therefore, they thought that by killing Caesar they saved the \Republic and liberty.

The reality was different. Caesar was the hero of the people who saw him as a man who had the courage and means to challenge the Romans aristocracy, which they saw as out of touch and corrupt. People were very upset about his death and came close to rioting. The aftermath of his death was more civil wars between Caesar's supporters and his opponents and then a civil war between Caesar's supporters.

In the long term, Caesar's death did help Rome, but in the immediate aftermath, Rome was plunged into chaos and eventually another civil war. It wasn't until 14 years after Caesar's death that Octavian was able to take complete power and bring about a long lasting era of peace and prosperity by establishing the principate.
