Julius Caesar was, probably, a central figure of the last years of Roman republic. He was great orator, politician and general. He always had to be the first and was totally ruthless in pursuit of his goals and ambitions. He was loved by a lot of Romans, especially by lower class, and a lot of people recognized him as a human god. On 15th of March, 44 B.C. he was called to the Theatre of Pompey to discuss the preparations for the war against Parthia, and was killed by a group of 23 senators which pulled out knifes from under their togas stabbed him to death 1 time each.

Perhaps he would be a pretty good politician if he wasn't killed so short after he was declared dictator for life, but he was killed not for being good or bad dictator, but just for being a dictator.

He would have passed this tradition to his children and they might not be as good as he was. Just one person should not have an absolute power over the lives of...
