Julius Caesar's biggest mistake was to give the impression that he wanted to become a king. this is what led to his assassination.

The significance of this was that Caesar becoming king would have meant the end of the Roman Republic. A republic is a political system which does not have a king. The Roman Republic had been established centuries earlier following a rebellion against the last king of Rome, who was a tyrant. The Romans decided to establish a republic headed by two annually elected consuls to prevent the return of tyranny. They also swore not to let anyone try to become a king ever again. During the Early Republic one man was executed and another one was forced to commit suicide because of accusations of trying to become a king. Many Romans thought that if Caesar became a king he would become a tyrant.
