Real Dictators
The Death of Brutus
Julius Caesar was killed by his own son Brutus on March 14th, AD 284. The Roman leader had been marked out for high office under the new regime. His wife Calpurnia begged him not to go to work and he decided to stay at home. In a final act of self-defence Julius decides to take part in Pompey's theatre show. He is carried half a mile in a litter before doing the last part on foot. A Greek scholar named Artemidorus passes Caesar a note with a warning - but it turns out to be a message from Spartacus.
