Julius Caesar: The Man Rome Betrayed

Julius Caesar was not killed by Rome's enemies. He was killed by men who called themselves defenders of Rome. By 44 BCE, Caesar had conquered Gaul, crossed the Rubicon, defeated Pompey, survived civil war, and returned to Rome with more power than any Roman was supposed to hold. To the people, he was a hero. To many senators, he was becoming the king Rome had sworn never to obey. On the Ides of March, the men closest to Roman power surrounded him beneath the shadow of Pompey and raised their knives. They believed they were saving the Republic. Instead, they helped destroy it. This is the story of Julius Caesar - the ambition, fear, betrayal, and assassination that changed Rome forever.
