1 jan 44 ano antes da era comum - Julius Caesar assassinated

Descrição:

“Caesar was wildly popular with most people in Rome for his generosity, and even with many senators. Other senators, led by Brutus and Cassius, favored the traditional republic and opposed Caesar’s rise to what was becoming absolute power. In 44 B.C.E., they conspired to kill him and did so on March 15 — the date called the “Ides of March” in the Roman calendar — stabbing him multiple times on the steps of the theater of Pompey, where the Senate was meeting that day. The result of Caesar’s assassination was yet another round of civil war. Caesar had named his eighteen-year-old grandnephew and adopted son, Octavian, as his heir. In 43 B.C.E., Octavian joined forces with two of Caesar’s lieutenants, Mark Antony and Lepidus (LEH-puh-duhs), in a formal pact known later as the Second Triumvirate…The three came into conflict, however, and Lepidus was forced into exile by Octavian, leaving the other two to confront one another.”
