By the way, it is: "Julius Caesar." He was murdered by a bunch of conspirators, among them Brutus and Casius, supposedly because they feared that Caesar would establish a kingdom ( at the moment Rome had been a republic, with extreme fear of kings ). But, ironically, after Caesar's murder, the man in power was a triunvirate, composed of Marc Antony, Crassus, and Caius Octavius. They fought among them, and the winner was Octavius, later called Augustus Caesar, first Roman Emperor, beginning an empire that lasted for almost five centuries in the West and 14 centuries in the East

Julius Ceaser was proclaimed dictator for life, and he heavily centralized the bureaucracy of the Republic. This forced a friend of Ceasers, Marcus Junius Brutus, who conspired with others to murder the dictator and restore the Republic. The assasination occured on March 15, 44 BC. and let to another Roman War.

Casca was the first of the conspirators to stab Julius Caesar and then the others also did. The last to stab him was Brutus, which was the ultimate betrayal as far as Julius was concerned.
Of the other conspirators from memory were, Cassius, Decius, Metellus, Cinna and Trebonius.

Julius Caesar was assassinated by his colleagues from the Roman Senate; including his friend Brutus.

His nephew Octavian was behind this assassination with the Senate. To prohibit Julius from taking their wealth to help the people, (sewers, disease etc.,), Octavian promised them he would take over and then they would all be safe. They acted on their own with the daggers, but Octavian made good his promise and then announced his new name to be Caesar and made himself emperor.

Many memebers of the senate, but most historically Brutus. Caesar said "Et tu Brute?" meaning "you too brutus?" before he was the lat person to stab him.

I agree with Randal, I think it was mainly Brutus that did the deed tho.
