Happy Ides of March Day!

"Caesar was attacked and stabbed to death by a group of senators who called themselves the Liberatores ("Liberators"); they justified their action on the grounds that they committed tyrannicide, not murder, and were preserving the Republic from Caesar's alleged monarchical ambitions."

Sounds like a plan...

1. And as a result...

The Roman Senate granted Caesar's successor, Octavian, the title of Augustus (previously reserved only for the gods) and unprecedented power to command at will, thereby marginalizing the Senate and effectively abolishing the republic they sought to preserve from Caesar.

2. And the coffers were emptied to pay for the bloody war.

And the perps were forced to fall on their own swords.

And the beat goes on...
