About this book
Summary
The assassination of Julius Caesar is often portrayed as a final stand in defence of the Roman Republic, carried out by men who claimed to fear tyranny. Yet Caesar's death did not restore republican rule. Instead, it accelerated the rise of imperial power. This book reexamines the motives behind the conspiracy and the political consequences that followed the Ides of March. It explores who truly benefited from Caesar's removal by tracing the shifting alliances, power struggles, and institutional breakdown that transformed Rome from republic to empire. Clear, analytical, and grounded in historical debate, Julius Caesar Assassinated: Republic or Empire, Who Benefited Most? invites readers to reconsider whether the killing of Caesar prevented tyranny or paved the way for a more absolute form of rule.Book information
