Do you think Caesar's killers were justified in their actions?
On March 15, 44 before the Common Era, Julius Caesar was supposed to attend a senate meeting. This was the perfect opportunity for the conspirators or as they would like to be called “Liberators” to assassinate Caesar. Since he would be by himself because only senators could attend such a meeting, they decided this was the time. When he got there he was presented with a petition to recall his exiled brother. The other senators then crowded around him, trying to give their own consent. When Cimber grabbed Caesar’s shoulders and pulled down his tunic. Casca then brought forward a dagger and attempted to stab Caesar in the next. Quickly, Caesar turned around and caught Casca’s arm. Casca then shouted for help, creating commotion from all the other senators. Caesar then tried to escape but could not see from all the blood. The rest of the senators ran after him and then stabbed him to death. According to historians, sixty or more men participated in the assassination of Julius Caesar. He got stabbed twenty three times, but only one was considered to be lethal which was the second one to his chest. The reason for his assassination as far as I can tell, is basically because the other senators didn’t want Caesar to possess the power of dictatorship anymore over the Roman Empire. They didn’t want him to have access to anymore more power than he already did. And as a solution they decided to plan an assassination. Now was this right? No, I do not personally think so. Just because you do not like someone ruling over your town, city, or country does not mean that you have the right to go and murder them. I don’t think anyone no matter what circumstance has any right to take another human being’s life away from them. That just isn’t fair.

Thanks for sharing this blog. I am going to be sharing this with my 7th grade students and encouraging them to comment!
ReplyDeleteI think that Julio Caesar's death was unjustified because he didn't deserved to get killed, he did everything right. He helped Rome get to a higher level and overpass every other dynasty and he helped conquer more dynasties to get stronger and be more respected
DeleteYes, I agree with you that if someone was not a just and fair ruler doesn't mean that you have the right to kill him. And stab him 23 times. That is not right.
ReplyDeleteThat is not fair you are right
DeleteI also think that Caesar's death was not justified. There must have been some other way to get Julius Caesar to realize what emotions he was creating. Maybe the murderers could've gathered the public and negotiate/reason with him.
ReplyDeleteBut since Caesar thought he was the best and all would anyone be able to convince him?
DeleteI wouldn't think convincing would work, but perhaps opening his mind to what he caused might trigger something through his head. Reasoning and convincing are two very different things.
DeleteI like the way you worded you comment. And negotiating public would definitely make sure he wouldn't try to attack the Senators.
DeleteYou should not use violence, because it is used as a political weapon, so I agree with her.
DeleteI agree with you, I do not think Caesars death was justified and it should not have been done. Violence is never the answer, and just because you don't like someone, you should not stab them to death!!!!! Caesars killers did not justify their actions and were right to be punished by Marc Antony and Octavian Augustus
ReplyDeleteviolence is not the answer!!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteExactly.
DeleteGive some ways they can negotiate
DeleteI personally disagree with you to some degree. I think the Roman senators should have talked things out with him and tried to work out his power. But if he still disagreed and continued with his questionable power, then murder was the right option. And if the public disagreed, then don't murder. But if the public agrees for his death, than execute him.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think would happen if the public wanted him dead, but he realized what he had done was sometimes hurting the Republic?
DeleteViolence is never a option
DeleteWhy do you think there where many wars through out history. TO bring just to unreasonable people.
DeleteViolence only worsens the situation.
Delete@ vaisnavi Model UN. Is a good club for discussing politics, maybe Rome needed some Model UN. Senators murder the leader of rome so they can have "Power," but they cant even use it because they have to leave! It is hilarious how delusional they were.
DeleteI also believe that Caesar's death was not justified. I especially agree with the point that someone cannot be murdered just because other people dislike him/her. I feel that negotiation with Caesar would have solved the problem as well.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. They could have found another way out instead of assassinating him. They could have tried negotiating with him in public. There is always a better way to avoid violence.
ReplyDeleteI agree! Well put together.
DeleteThank you!
DeleteI agree, I do believe that their actions were completely unreasonable. They could've at least created a compromise with him to straighten things out. But stabbing a person 23 times is just wrong. They should have some mercy.
ReplyDeleteIt was unnecessary to assassinate a dictator.23 stabs was just cruel and a harsh way to treat a caring man.
DeleteI agree with you.
DeleteI think that Caesar's death was not justified. I think that the actions were just horrific. If you don't like someone's route for whatever they're doing, can't you just tell them?
ReplyDeleteI think Caesar shouldn't been killed. I agree the assasinators should be kicked out of Rome or killed.
ReplyDeleteI think they were kicked out
DeleteCaesar's death is not fair because even if he is gaining more strength and control, his death should have been decided after his action
DeleteI agree that it was not right to kill Julius Caeser, I think they should have reasoned with him and try to bring equal power to everyone, if he does not agreed see what the public says because you are doing it for the public
ReplyDeleteI agree, they shouldn't have killed him, but at this point they knew he was too stuck up to listen to their suggestions.
ReplyDeleteOkay, thanks
DeleteI guess he was a bit too full of himself
Deletehi
ReplyDeleteHi, It was very cool learning about somebody else's opinion on this infamous event.
DeleteBrutus is a annoying and hurtful person. Killing someone who cared for you. Then you ask your own life.
ReplyDeleteYes you are right, but Brutus and the "Liberators" were also part of the assassination, you have to blame all of them
DeleteI agree with the blogger. The Liberators should not have killed Caesar. Perhaps they should have taken a public vote, to see what they could do with Caesar. However, killing him was not the best option. The blog was very well written and shed light on Caesar's death. The blog showed me how unfair and unjustified Caesar's death was.
ReplyDeleteJulius Cesar should not have been killed,it was unnecessary and cruel.23 stabs is just merciless and hands down a ridiculous way to handle the situation
ReplyDeleteyes you are right, Julius Cesar should not have been killed,it was unnecessary and cruel.23 stabs is just merciless and hands down a ridiculous way to handle the situation
DeleteI agree with you Sujay.That was unnessacary for them to do that
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteYeah you are right.
DeleteI agree with you Sujay
DeleteAlso they could have took a public vote to see whether the people of Rome agreed,if they didn't agree,then they shouldn't kill Julius
ReplyDeleteI agree
DeleteI agree with you

DeleteI agree that Caesar's death was not justified. The senators were just scared of losing their own power, which had already been reduced when Roman generals began to gain power. They were also probably jealous of Caesar, as he gained nearly all the power that the Senate used to have. He was killed by a bunch of power hungry, greedy patricians.
ReplyDeleteI do not like the way his friends attacked him and unfotunatley turned out to be his death.Caesar was doing the right thing but his fellow senate members got jealous and tried to kill him.The Friends of his were not the greatest.They tricked him into joining a Senate Metting and they turned on him leaving to his death because he tried to run away.I do not like the way they did that
ReplyDeleteI think that Julius shouldn't have been stabbed. It was wrong of the Liberators to murder Julius just for their sake. They should have at least consulted the people of Rome for their opinion on Julius Caesar.
ReplyDeletethat was so wrong they should not have killed him that was COMPLETELY unfair
ReplyDeleteI also think this was a cruel and unacceptable way to handle the situation. If they wanted to solve this problem, they should've thought it through and done it peacefully. Using violence would not have done any good.
ReplyDeleteI think that it was unfair also. Just because someone does not like how someone rules does not mean that they should kill them. I know that they thought that they would loose their jobs but they should have just talked to him. I think that this was very unfair.
ReplyDeleteI feel that Julius Caesar should not have been assassinated by the Senate. You have no right to simply kill someone because you disagree with them. Just because you crave for a lot of unnecessary power.
ReplyDeleteI think that Caeser's death was not justified because people should not be killed just because they are disliked.
ReplyDeleteI think that Caesars death was not justified because of the fact that it was basically an assassination and also because the only reason he was assassinated was because the Senators were Greedy.
ReplyDeleteI feel like Caeser's death was unfair because you cannot kill somebody if you simply do not like them and the amount of power that they have.
ReplyDeleteI agree, unknown
DeleteI think that this is cruel and unjust. The Senators thought they would be heros, But they were wrong and later were killed because of that.
ReplyDeleteI feel that the killers of Caesar did not have the right to kill him because they could have done something different. For example the killers were patricians (in the senate) so they did have a say in what Caesar did or decided. They may not of had a big say, but they could have tried to change things before they killed him. Also, Caesar wasn't the only person who had more power over other people. So did the Senate! The Senate had MUCH more power over the plebeians and they never respected them. In conclusion, I believe that the Senate did this to get attentions because there was someone of greater power than them and they didn't like it. Even though they were getting a taste of what the Plebeians went through for years.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you because Caesar did not deserve such a dishonorable death. Just because the Senators were concerned, that does not justify an assassination.
ReplyDeleteThis was mine ^

ReplyDeleteI think Caesar's death was an injustice to him and all the people of Rome. He should not have been assassinated just because a few people disliked him. I mean he helped the poor by giving them land, so killing him made no literal sense. People should know that violence is not the answer and they should have at least worked things out verbally instead of going in without reason and killing him. Stabbing a man 23 times should never be a solution.
ReplyDeleteI agree and i think that it is certainly not fair that someone would have to be killed just because they don't agree with a topic, it just makes the situation more worse.
ReplyDeleteThey should have just reasoned with Caesar
ReplyDeleteI think that it was wrong that the senators fears made them kill Caesar. He was doing good to Rome, but senators wanted to keep the Roman republic so they stabbed him 23 times. They shoudn't have done that because they led to the fall of the republic and the rise of an empire.
ReplyDeleteI feel that Caesars killers were mean and worried about nothing. They had absoutely no reason to kill him and they caused panic in Rome afterwords. This action in my opinion was rediculous.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same
DeleteI feel the same
DeleteI think that Caesar's death wasn't justified. Caesar's was killed for no reason and the killers should be hanged.
ReplyDeleteI think that Caesar's killers were very wrong about him. He was a great leader, and I know Caesar was. They made the wrong choice to kill Caesar, and shouldn't have killed him.
ReplyDeleteAnd stabbing someone 23 times is just weird and very cruel

ReplyDeleteI think that caesar's death was uncalled for there was no reason to kill him
ReplyDeleteThe roman senators are evil jerks
ReplyDeletenot all of them were!!!
DeleteI thought that it was not right to stab Caesar 23 times to death. There own actions led the Roman's to a sadder life. But also thinking more about it, what would happen to us if Caesar didn't die so fast?......

ReplyDeleteCaesar could have been more popular?
DeleteI think this is unfair to caesar because he did not know that he was going to die like this,and just because you don't like someone does not mean that you stab them 23 times and kill them. I feel bad for caesar
ReplyDeleteCaesar's was a very good leader and shouldn't have been killed
ReplyDeleteI think this is unfair to caesar because he did not know that he was going to die like this,and just because you don't like someone does not mean that you stab them 23 times and kill them. I feel bad for caesar

ReplyDeleteI do not think this is fair. They should have found another way to make the republic fair.
ReplyDeleteI think they should of had a trial or court and could have solve this problem by talking to him about it and they could of came up with a better solution then killing him
ReplyDeleteThey felt jealous and threatened that Caesar was getting all of the power and they were worried that no one would use the Senate anymore so they wouldn't have anymore power.
ReplyDeleteI also think that it was unfair that Caesar got his own life taken away just because the Senators were worried that Caesar would take all the power, so they decided to kill him. They could have talked to him or left him alone, but not kill him.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to me that every time there is a problem in Rome or someone is unhappy with the way things are being ran, they automatically and quickly want to kill them. Can't they all just get along??
ReplyDeleteI think it was unfair because they could have done it a different way. For example: talk to him about it or take some of his power or balanced his power to him don't have too much and not too little.
ReplyDeleteI think Caesar killer weren't justified because Caesar did everything to help Rome.Brutus was his closest adviser and it wasn't fair that even he tried to kill Caesar.Caesar was really a effective leader in Rome and it wasn't fair.It was like he was getting killed for doing something good for the country.
ReplyDeleteI think Caesars killers could of done it a different way. They should of calmly talk to him and discussed. Violence is not a way of solving problems they should of used other ways.
ReplyDeleteI think that the emotions and wants of Caesar's killers overcame them and they all came to the decision to murder him. If they didn't involve their feelings Caesar could've been changed to a lower class.
ReplyDeleteYes I will I agree with your comment. It is like, so unfair! They should not just kill him. You should ask the rest of the people for their advice and if they don't like him, you should kick him out from Rome
ReplyDeleteI think that Caesar's death was not justified. This is because, you never know, Caesar might even give a lot more power to the Senate. I think that the Senators' rushed to the decision and they should have thought about it a lot more. This was not fair!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that Julius Caesar's assassination was unjust and unfair. The Senate shouldn't have killed him in such a way. They should have planned the attack better so that as more people would be happier. They could've thought it through, maybe making a vote to exile him. Such a violent response is unnecessary, and Caesar worked hard for his role as dictator. They didn't think about what it would be like if they had been in his place. Spending a life-time to get to a rank, finally ruling an empire, and then being violently stabbed to death unexpectedly. It's wrong to take away someone's life, and they got what they deserved in the end (killed by Octavian also known as Augustus and Antony or forced to suicide).
ReplyDeletei think that Cesar death was unjustified he was a nice guy he did not deserve to get killed he helped conquer dynasties he saved peoples life's he also helped to get even more stronger i think that was unfair.
ReplyDeleteI do not think that Caesar's assassination was necessary, nor justified, since it actually led to the end of the Roman Republic. The liberators, in my opinion, were to anxious to let Caesar end the Roman Republic.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the author of this blog that this is a brutal killing for no appropriate reason. I believe everyone should be reminded that you should not kill someone just because they are controlling people in an area. There could have been other ways to solve the problem, like exile him or explain to him about his rising power and how it could affect Rome's future. Unfortunately, the Senators decided to resort to the last option on the table - murder.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with the blogger, this person is right they should have never killed him, I don't think violence isn't the solution to anything. I also feel like Caesar's killers did this all for fame. Plus, they should be happy, and anything other than jealous because Caeser works hard to do so much for the civilization.
ReplyDeleteI think it is fair that Caesar was killed if he had gained too much power (which he already had) he wouldn't listen to the Senate. And why couldn't Caesar just stick to the republic he thrived for way to much power. If he hadn't wanted so much power maybe he could have lived a whole life.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the person who wrote this article. Just because someone in the government doesn't mean that you should kill them and think they are bad. Caesar was only trying to help Rome become a better place. But the citizens of Rome saw Caesar as a threat. They thought that Caesar was becoming way to powerful and thought that he was trying to take Rome back to the time where Rome was ruled by kings. The people did not understand that he was only trying to help Rome become a better place. Also, instead of the Senate killing Caesar, they could have talked about it and resolved this issue. There is another reason why the Senate wanted to kill Caesar. The people saw violence as a political weapon. The Senate killed Caesar so they could their power in the government back. This is why I say that killing Caesar was not a fair thing to do.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree. The senators thought, in their misguided minds, that they would be rewarded for committing such a gruesome act. How could they think that killing Rome's leader was a good idea?
DeleteI agree with you. Although Caesar did have a pretty big ego and wanted power over the people, he was an extraordinary leader that was capable of many things. The senators in this case, was little bit senile in their thinking. Murder is evil, nobody with good sense would participate in it. If you hate someone in your school, would you stab them to death? Most likely, the answer is no. The senators were very wrong in this case to murder Caesar, for he was a good leader and murder is not allowed in any cases.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree with you. I feel like the senators rushed. Who knows? Maybe Caesar would've been a great dictator and improve Rome. He already preformed great acts, why not he preform more? It is for Rome after all ... isn't it? Just because you hate someone for what they are doing, doesn't mean you kill them. I hate my enemy, do I want to kill them? No. I want them to change. The senators shouldn't have used violence, but peace instead. Just like the killing of the Gracchus brothers, they saw this as a political weapon. I don't get one thing though. If sixty people participated in this act, then who would they want to be dictator? Rome needed someone strong to be stable. Wouldn't they have fought for dictator? If they chose someone else to be dictator, then what's the point of killing Caesar? I have a strong feeling that the killing was rushed. They wanted to kill him, that's it, before he took more power. They should've thought how he changed Rome and how he could have improved it. I felt like he could improve Rome. Also, they didn't expect the consequences. There were people out there that cared about Caesar. They wanted to get revenge for his death. Antony and Octavian that is. They were very devastated that Caesar died so they killed each and everyone of his murderers. How nice of them. I appreciate them for the act. The senators... how foolish were they?
ReplyDeleteYa he could've been a great dictator
Deletepotato
I think stabbing someone as important as Julius Caesar 23 times was wrong.I think he should've been hit with one or two stabs and they should've finished the job
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI think Julius Caesar's death was unfair because stabbing someone ruthlessly would be a very cruel thing to do. I think the senators could've been a bit more peaceful and got all the other branches to agree with them and then demand Caesar to give them more power or something like that instead of assassinating him in such a way.
ReplyDeleteI truly disagree with the romans because people should have talked to Caesar about what hes's doing to the republic, instead of killing him
ReplyDeleteI don't think Julius Caesar's death was justified. He did not deserve it, as he was such a kind and generous man.
ReplyDeleteThat is totally not fair because Caesar was approved my many people and you can't just kill a person because you want power. I agree that Caesar's death wasn't a fair one.
ReplyDelete"Yes, Caesar's death is not justified. Instead of stabbing him the senators could try to gain the support of the people of Rome and could have overthrown him to end his dictatorship. Instead they blindly stabbed him, unaware of the consequences. Because of their act of felony, people were going chaotic, wanting to punish them for their deeds."

Caesar's killers were very wrong to kill him. He was just a man wanting to do good for his country. He cared for all citizens, including the poor. It was the wealthy people that got stingy and wanted their wealth, not caring for other citizens. Therefore, I believe that Julius's death was very wrong.
ReplyDeleteI think Julius Caesar's assassination wasn't justified because he did nothing wrong. He was an excellent ruler and did much to help Rome, so killing his was just selfish because the senate believed he was gaining power.
ReplyDeleteI think that the assassination was unjustified because murder never is. I think that reasoning with Caesar would've been more effective. If not, make the Senate or assembly take a vote to end any general dictators.
ReplyDeleteI think violence is never the answer, they should've talked out with him or vote him out or anything. If nothing really work then its time to murder him.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, the senators should have talked things out with Caesar. They could have discussed about he can let some senators do part of the work, so everyone has a balanced amount of power. They could have also have the public vote about limiting Caesar's power and allowing the senators to help.
ReplyDeleteI think it was not fair to stab Julius Caesar because even if you don't like your leader, that doesn't mean you can stab him. He also helped Rome in many ways so just because he did something to the Senate, doesn't allow the Senate to kill him.
ReplyDeleteI agree that this is definitely unfair. Just because the ruler wasn't fair didn't mean they could kill him. They should have forced him out of the goverment. Ceasear was just making Rome a better place he wasn't even doing anything bad. Even though the government didn't like someone having to much power Ceases was responsible enough to handle it
ReplyDeleteI feel like they were to harsh on ceaser they should've at least worked something out before murdering him.
ReplyDeleteI don think it was fair that they killed him because if they did not kill him Rome might be a better republic.
ReplyDeleteI feel as if Brutus and the other conspitators caused a great sin to kill the man who could have led Rome to take over the entire world. The conspirators were wrong in the killing of Caesar, as the other branches could have voted to exile him.

ReplyDeleteIt is not fair that Julius Caesar was murdered because you shouldn't take a life just because somebody was not doing the wrong thing. Violence is not the answer to everything. Because of this Rome thought if somebody was doing something wrong they should kill for it.
ReplyDeleteThat is a much smarter move, you are right!
ReplyDeleteIt was not fair they killed because they could've explained to him about having too much power and he probably back away from that dictatorship.
ReplyDeleteI agree, killing Julius Caesar was not a fair thing to do. Caesar just thought that he was doing something good for his people. The senators did not think about what Caesar was thinking or how the public would react to him being gone.
ReplyDeleteI agree, the senate believed him to be nothing but trouble.

ReplyDeleteI get that when this happened, many were scared about dictatorship, since it was not uncommon, but yes, I agree that is was wrong for people to kill him for it. From my understanding, the senate didn't even know for sure that Caesar was trying to do harm, which makes them killing him very unfair.
ReplyDeleteI think it was not right to kill Caesar because he was just helping Rome to grow and he never made people feel bad or never hurt people too.
ReplyDeleteI feel like they were to harsh on ceaser they should've at least worked something out before murdering him.
ReplyDeleteI do not think the actions were justified because, Say, if you were not allowing power to people who were cruel, do you think you deserve to die? Like, if a teacher doesn't encourage bullies at school, she deserves to die? This action was unjustified and upright outrageous. I think it was just crazy, especially how caesar's friend brutus even helped with the deed.
ReplyDeleteWhy does my name say "unknown?" I dont understand this. >.<
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree with your statement. It is not right to say that if you think that someone is doing something wrong, you can assassinate them. It also says that they think that they can have all of the power they want. I absolutely agree with you Mrs.Setree.
ReplyDeleteI feel that they should have worked it out by talking to each other instead of bringing out the knives. I also think he shouldn't have been killed because he helped Rome develop. They made a thing that they could solve easily by just talking into a mini war.
ReplyDeleteI also think this, and agree that they did not have to kill him. It was extremely horrible, and I personally hate that part, when they hurt him and killed him, BECAUSE he was in power, not for power. They wanted power to come from it.
DeleteIn my opinion, Caesar didn't deserve to die. He hadn't done anything wrong. His killers were not justified. If Caesar had tried to become a tyrant, they could have reasoned with him or, if worst came to worst, remove him from his post. However, killing him was absolutely wrong.
ReplyDeleteThat is true. But was he really a tyrant? I don't think so. The citizens loved and admired him.
DeleteCaesar's death was not justified. I agree with this blog. Whatever he was doing, he was doing for the better. The citizens admired him. The Senate assassinated him, only because they were afraid that they will become powerless.
ReplyDeleteCaesar did not deserve to die, he was working his best to make all Roman Citizens proud. The Senate was just mad that Caesar was getting more power, and he was worried that he could possibly loose all his power. So no, Caesar's death was not justified.
ReplyDeleteCaesar didn't deserve to die, because if you would just murder someone because of how they rules, that's wrong. The citizens loved him and even a whole month was named after him!
ReplyDeleteCaesar should not die, because he was helping other people. The other people should be punished who killed Caesar. Caesar thought that he did not need the Senate anymore. Then, the Senators killed him. Then, Octavian punished the Senators. Caesar was a nice man who helped the poor. He just wanted to build organizations. So, I don't think he should be stabbed and should die. So, Caesar's death was not justified.
ReplyDeleteCORRECT!

ReplyDeleteI think that Julius Caesar did not deserve to die.It was not the right thing to do.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the person who created this blog because All Caesar did was made
ReplyDeleteRome a powerful and good empire . I also agree with the people who killed him because When he was respected he got all animated and started to over react a lot.
Caesar's' death was NOT fair. He was considered a good faithful leader of Rome, and the senate was just wrong trying to kill him. Especially Brutus. Brutus is the reason we have the word 'brutal'. He killed a man who thought of him as a son, and saved his life in the war against Pompey. Caesar could've fought off the attackers if he wanted, but what truly made him give in to the tyranny of the Senators was the sight of Brutus wielding a dagger, his adopted family trying to kill him to "Protect Rome" This betrayal is what really killed Caesar. To quote Shakespeare, "You too, Brutus?"
ReplyDeleteYASHAS RAVI: I also think Ceaserś dearth wasńt justified, and the Senate could have just limited his power by a little force instead of murdering him.
ReplyDeleteI agree, they could have just compromised and split Ceasar's power.

ReplyDeleteI don't this Caesura's death was not justified because he earned the title as dictator and everything that he did to help Rome was wasted because of the senate.
ReplyDeleteCaesar's death was not fair. Just because he is taking too much power doesn't mean that they can kill him. He was helping the Roman empire expand by so much. The people of Rome liked him as a ruler. He was taking good care of Rome. But then the senate comes and stab him 23 times. So this is why the death of Caesar's death was not fair.
ReplyDeleteCaesar's death was definitely not fair. He was a great leader for Rome and protected them from any attacks because he was a general as well. The Senate was wrong for killing him because instead of getting praise like they expected, they just ended up getting killed.
ReplyDeleteI think that Caesar's death was unjustified because they did not kill him rightfully ad it was not just. Caesar was a respected leader of Rome and was admired by many Roman's, especially the poor. Even though some of them did not like him, that doesn't mean that they should go out and kill him through their own will. They should have checked with the society first.
ReplyDeleteI think that Caesar's killers weren't justified in their actions, because Caesar was admired by many Roman citizens. He helped many poor Romans, and gave them farmland. Just because the senators didn't like Caesar doesn't mean that its a rightful act to kill him. Instead of them becoming heroes, the society started riots all over Rome, and there were many disasters, just because the senators killed a dominating leader.
ReplyDelete
