It was only a minority of senators who were unhappy with Caesar's growing power. Caesar had filled the senate with his supporters. These senators thought that Caesar wanted to become a king and bring the Roman Republic to an end. They equated a king with tyranny. The Republic had been created some 500 years earlier when the last king of the Roman monarchy was deposed in a rebellion because he was a tyrant. The Romans decided to abolish the monarchy and established the Republic whose purpose was to prevent the return of tyranny and preserve liberty. Thus they felt that Caesar was a threat to the Republic and the liberty which was associated with it and a man who wanted to become a tyrannical king.
