The conspirators against Caesar were a group of prominent Roman politicians and senators. They feared Caesar would use his high levels of popularity to have himself declared king and to destroy the Roman Republic. They thought that Caesar was likely to rule as a tyrant, and they wanted to preserve the power of the Senatorial class.
The conspirators killed Caesar on 15 March 44 BC by stabbing him repeatedly on the steps to the Roman Forum.
There were supposedly 40 Senators who plotted to kill Caesar. Some of their names were:
* Marcus Junius Brutus (Caesar's close friend and possible illegitimate son; according to some historians Caesar cried out "You too, my child!" when he was attacked by Brutus) * Gaius Cassius Longinus * Servius Sulpicius Galba * Servilius Casca.
