This Day in History: , Julius Caesar Is Assassinated.
March 15, 44 B.C.
The Ides of March.
As Caesar entered a hall
adjacent to the Theatre of
Pompey, he was surrounded by
several Roman Senators yielding daggers.

included as many as 60 nobleman.
It stemmed from his
tensions with the Senate,
and his recent appointment
as "dictator in perpetuity.".
