Well, I'd say another one is loyalty and betrayal. Look at Brutus and Cassius.
Another more esoteric one is prognostication or foretelling of future events vs. free will. If I remember correctly, this happens several times in the play. Of course, the most famous one is the one about the fault being in the stars, not in themselves [sorry, I don't remember the exact line].

usually, i have observed that when shakespeare's performs have 'The Tragedy" contained in the call, it is often purely to describe the fashion. Julius Caeser is a tragedy, clone of Romeo and Juliet. in spite of the indisputable fact that, Caeser isn't the only personality to die. Brutus and Cassius also die, so i imagine it has some thing to do with the deaths of the different characters besides. ..yet do not quote me...i'm purely specualting. it is called a tragedy because it is the fashion.

Ah, one of my favorites. I think the play is about youth and loyalty. Caesar is a decaying, weakened old man in the play and not the personality we remember from history. He is surrounded by 'lean and hungry' men who are eager for their time to come. There is the sense that the state is weakened by the poor health of the ruler; youth would revitalize the state, but disloyalty would curse it.
Standing as symbols of loyalty are the play's two main characters, Anthony and Brutus. Anthony symbolizes personal loyalty, and while outwardly he seems to be the embodiment of reckless youth, inwardly his moral courage is impenetrable. Brutus on the other hand represents loyalty to the state. He has lofty ideals, but is naive.

Togas are good for hiding knives. ;-)
Betrayal, I would say is an important theme. Et tu' Brute? Caesar asks as his blood spills on the ground as he looks at what he thought was his friend with a bloody knife in his hand.
