At Caesars death there was turmoil, both political and physical. The assassins thought they would be hailed as heroes, but were wrong and had to flee to safety in a temple on the Capitoline. Marc Antony, Caesar's co-counsul, thought they might be after him too, so he went into temporary hiding. When Antony finally realized he was safe, he tried his best to calm the storms and did succeed politically. In the physical sense, at Caesar's funeral, the crowd saw the wounded body of Caesar and when his funeral pyre was lit, they began enlarging it with their personal possessions and anything else they could find until it became a raging blaze. Some lit torches from the pyre and set out to burn down the houses of the conspirators. It took quite a few days to calm the city.
