What inspired William Shakespeare to write plays about Julius Caesar?

Plays set in ancient Rome were not exactly common before Shakespeare wrote Julius Caesar. He himself had set one of his early plays, Titus Andronicus, in ancient Rome, and there may also have been a play about Titus and Vespasian and an early version of Appius and Virginia. For some reason, Shakespeare was attracted to the plots available in Plutarch's Lives and the Caesar and Antony plays derive from this source.
His sense of what would sell did not fail, and his Roman plays were successful enough to inspire imitation, notably Jonson's Sejanus His Fall.
