[@OptimusMaximusNero]

Of all the depictions of Caesar's death, the best in my opinion is the one featured in the episode "Caesar", of the docudrama series "Ancient Rome: The Rise and Fall of an Empire." In this version, Caesar (brilliantly played here by Sean Pertwee) notices the Senators drawing knives as they surround him, but, instead of panicking or fighting back, he just stands still and holds out his arms, ready to become a God. The scene then fades to black and the episode ends

[@crownedraven1260]

Yeah, especially the fact many of the people were angry with the senate already and a new power like Caesar who seemingly "stood for the people" was gaining support quickly. He even made a show of not accepting a crown given to him.

After killing Caesar, Brutus made a limited-edition coin of himself to commenmorate the assasination. Most of these coins were made of silver, but only 3 coins were known to be made of gold, possibly as a gift for high-ranking officials.

This scene breaks my heart every time 😭💔

A lot of people don't know that Rome had had a few dictators before Caesar; their republic had a built in mechanism where they would elect a dictator during times of great stress and he'd guide the country through the turmoil and thdn hand power back to the Senate. Or that Caesar was attempting to surpass his hero, Marius, as the greatest Roman ever. Romans during the Republican Era would compete to see who could do the most for the nation out of a sense of domis ...and Caesar had to go as big as he did because Marius set the bar ridiculously high. Octavian was the one who created the empire, and Caesar's assassination gave him his means to do so.

How do you make the screen of the video thin like that? Do you have to do that for shorts?
