Why was Julius Caesar Murdered?
The first reason Julius Caesar was murdered was because some senators thought he wanted to become king. The evidence I have to support this point is that he acted like a king. He accepted gold and lots of other things only acceptable for a God. Another bit of evidence is on a parade some plebeians tied a white ribbon around his statue (a white ribbon is the sign of a king) But when the senators told them to take it off Caesar told them not too. So this would make the senators want to kill Caesar because the senators thought he had enough plebian support to become king. They were afraid that if he did become king (which was very likely) it would be the end of the republic and that would mean they would lose all their power. But on the other hand it says only some senators thought he wanted to become king. This means that not all of them thought this. Also it was never thought that Julius Caesar would do a thing as to destroy the Roman republic.
The second reason Julius Caesar was murdered was that some senators were jealous of him. The evidence I have to support this is he became a consul several times and made dictator for life. He also was given honours fit for a god: a gold throne, statues beside those of the gods, a special priest and one of the months of the years was named after him: July. This would make the senators want to kill him because if he was being given lots of gifts and was being treated like a king he would start to become more powerful than them, the senators, who were supposedly the most powerful people in Rome. They did not want to lose their power and give it all to Caesar. But again it only said some senators were jealous of him so it wasn’t all of them that thought this point which means it isn’t 100% accurate.
The third reason Julius Caesar was murdered was because the senators disliked him because he was arrogant and acted as though he was superior. The evidence I have to support this is that he
