How did Julius Caesar die?
"Even you, my son?" are the words, according to Suetonius, who spoke Julius Caesar to his protégé Brutus, when he and other senators assassinated him in the Curia Pompeii.
Mark June Brutus was unhappy with Julius Caesar because of some measures he had implemented in Rome, which increased his power as a dictator.
Brutus' brother-in-law, Gaius Cassius Longinus and some senators also took part in the conspiracy.
Not everything went well for the murderers, as Rome held Julius Caesar in high esteem, so they had to flee to the East.
Some time later, in the Battle of Philippi, Brutus committed suicide to avoid being captured by the armies of Octavian and Mark Antony.
