Why is the title of Julius Caesar ironic?

Answer 1

Caesar was supposed to have died at the foot of the statue of Pompey, the man he defeated in the civil war. Whether this is true is an open question. However he did die in the meeting hall of the theater of Pompey where the senate convened. Pompey built it.

Answer 2

The death of Julius Caesar is universally known as the Ides of March, occurring on March 15, 44 B.C.E. in Rome. He was appointed dictator for life by the Senate due to his military prowess ('Crossing the Rubicon) and popular support. While Octavian ("Augustus") is known as the first 'true' Emperor, initiating the rule of the Roman Empire, it is Caesar who began the transformation from Republic to Empire. His reforms of the Roman government and society largely upset the tradition-bound pragmatic Senate. They feared that Rome would become an Empire (this constant avoidance of any monarchy-resembled rule stemmed during the period of Monarchical Rome when the Romans were subject to Etruscan kings). In an attempt to preserve the Roman Republic, they assassinated Julius Caesar.

This assassination was an attempt by the Senate to preserve the state of the Republic, for the benefit of Rome as an entire nation. However, it was a failed attempt that only helped sink the Republic into an Empire. The Senate justified Caesar's death by stating he was a tyrant. However, a paradoxical situation came: If Caesar was indeed a tyrant, then all of the appointed magisterial positions were void, and that many of the people of the Senate who were on the plot did not actually, rightfully have that spot. But if they recognized Caesar's appointments, then no re-elections were to be held. So, they did.

Ironic in that even after the assassination of Caesar, due to technical and legal bindings, the Senate did not recognize Caesar as a tyrant - although his tyrant-emperor rulings were what caused his assassination.and that she died suddenly it was a surprise to hobos everywhere
