    He is also credited with creating the modern calendar we use today. Most importantly however, Caesar realized that the Roman Republic could not continue for much longer as it was.

    Although Gaius Julius Caesar was a brilliant man who did many things to benefit the people of Rome, the conspirators were completely justified in the decision to assassinate him. Towards the end of his life and political career, Caesar became a tyrannical and dictatorial man who violated widely accepted values of being a just ruler. He seemed to desire copious amounts of power which could not be granted by following the rules. An example of this would be the fact that he appointed himself dictator for life. He even violated Plato’s values of being a fair ruler (wisdom, courage, moderation, and justice), which were widely accepted views even in the Late Republic.…

Yet Caesar shall go forth, for these predictions are to the world in general as to Caesar” (Act 2, Scene ii, pg. 80), basically stating that he would go, if it’s his time to die, it was destined to be. Caesar is a believer of destiny, he thinks that death is something that cannot be meddled by people, but by nature and the gods.…

Rather, this group of men sought to save Rome from the tyranny and negligence that they believed was being perpetrated by Caesar himself. The fact that their intentions were honest and their violence was limited to the bare minimum suggests that the death of Caesar is better described as a sacrifice than a butchery.…
