Document Summary
March 16, 44 bc - day after the death of julius caesar. Liberators/tyrannicides/republicans/anti-caesarians believed they were protecting the public from a kingdom. Servilius casca: in charge of the sign; pulled caesar"s toga over his shoulders; basically assault; would be flustered and talking to. 60 people in the senate knew (minus the loose slips) Longinus started it all -> knew he wasn"t loved and didn"t have the charisma like his brother-in-law m. brutus had second praetor (praetor peregrinus -> in charge of cases between roman citizens and non-roman citizens) after m. Brutus married to junia: m. brutus" half sister. Decimus (junius) brutus albinus: third most important; it was known that caesar was thinking of not coming to the senate that day so it was his job to show up to the house and make sure that. Caesar showed up to the senate; was very close to caesar and named the second heir.
