Noble Romans as Flavius and Cassius feared that if Caesar will come to power, he will assume dictatorial powers and keep all Romans under 'servile fearfulness'. They were well aware of Caesar's nature which was like an 'adder' who was bound to harm people once he came to power. They thought that if Caesar succeeded in getting the crown, he would get the powers to dictate his terms on the general people who were so fickle-minded that they were easily influenced by anyone in power. This would lead to complete downfall of Rome and its people.

Why did Caesar die?

Julius Caesar was assassinated because the polical opponents of the senates were try to claim title of king. Caesar was stabbed 23 times. and there were more than 60 men involved. Caesar died age 57 According to the physician the wound to the chest was the one that killed Caesar.Julies Caesar was gaining to much power. Every day he began to act more like an emperor. The senators that stabbed him thought it was for the good of Rome. they were trying to prevent Rome from going back to emperors. Caesars best friend Brutes nearly gave the plan to kill Caesar all away because he was a good friend of Caesar. But in the end he gave in and helped them stab Caesar. Augustus then had all the senators hunted down and publicly executed for killing Caesar.Because the Roman Senate were afraid of his power, some of his friends and Brutus who was like a son to him betrayed him and killed him in a very violent gruesome way. They stabbed him many times. Many of the lay people really loved him but he did kind of come in and just take over Rome. Rent Rome and watch it. The whole first season is about the rise and fall of Julius Caesar......very good!!!!!!!!according to the book Julius Casear by William Shakespear, he died because Cassius was hungry for power so he got some of the Romans to kill Julius Caesar. He told them that he would become a dictoator, a tyrant, and that nobody wanted one ruler of rome. Cassius was so good at persuading people that he even got Casesars best friend to help him, Brutus. Brutus does it because Cassius leads him to believe that the people of Rome want Brutus to be the king of Rome and Cassius says that Brutus's anscestors threw out the last tyrant of Rome. Cassius also makes childhood references. So at the end Cassius gets everybody to join up with him and then they kill Caesar.
