The Murder That Ended Rome's Republic #caesar #romanhistory #worldhistory #newshorts

Twenty-three senators. One man. The assassination that was supposed to save Rome — and destroyed it instead.
By 44 BC, Julius Caesar had conquered Gaul, crossed the Rubicon, and declared himself dictator for life. The Roman Senate could see the Republic dying in real time.
So they acted.
On March 15th — the Ides of March — Brutus, Cassius, and twenty-one others surrounded Caesar in the Theatre of Pompey. Twenty-three stab wounds. The most powerful man in Rome fell at the base of Pompey's own statue.
The assassins believed they had saved democracy.
Within three years, civil war consumed Rome. Within seventeen, the Republic was gone — replaced by the empire they had killed to prevent.
History's greatest political miscalculation.
