what happened to julius caesar

Julius Caesar was assassinated on March 15, 44 B.C. by a group of Roman senators, including his close associate Brutus. He was attacked and stabbed to death in the Roman Senate. After his death, his body was burned in a great pyre in the Forum, and the assassins were condemned to death. The assassination was motivated by the senators' desire to remove Caesar from power, as they saw his increasing authority and the potential for him to be crowned king as a threat to the Roman Republic
