Conspirators kill mighty Caeser
Yesterday around noon, Rome witnessed the fall of a mighty leader named Julius Caesar. The conspirators involved in this murder were witnessed by the names of Cassius, Casca, Cinna, Trebonius, Ligarius, Decius Brutus, Metellus Cimber and Brutus.

Then the conspirators manage to move Mark Antony out of the way when Caesar took his seat. They started moving in around Caesar getting ready to attack. Casca stabs Caesar first then the rest continue to stab him. According to various sources Caesar’s last words were, “Et tu, Brute? Then fall Caesar". This goes to show how unexpected Brutus’s attack was in Caesar’s opinion. Caesar must have experienced ultimate betrayal at that moment because Brutus and Caesar were very good friends all along.
