Caesar was so exceptional, the Roman state was almost too small for him. Nicknamed by his own soldiers " The Balding Adulterer", he was a gambler, a risktaker, and he was an arch manipulator of religion for his own political ends. He even claimed to be descended from the goddess Venus herself. But his success provoked the jealousy and suspicion of the other nobles with deadly consequences. This littleknown square is the closest you can get to the spot where Caesar was murdered. In the first century BC, these ruins were temples. And on the Ides of March 44 BC, Caesar was passing here when he was stabbed by a group of conspirators. At first he fought back, but when he saw among the assassins was Brutus, his mistress' s son whom he adored, he gave up. His murder was meant to save the Republic, but in fact it just accelerated the end of the dream. |
