Caesar
Slandered
Today was
a dark day in the history of Rome. A great son of soil, Julius
Caesar, was assassinated in broad daylight. He was supposed to be
crowned the king of Rome but unfortunately it was not meant to be.
Caesar
came to Capitol to be crowned the king. At the Capitol, Cimber, bent
in front of Caesar and pleads for his brother. Caesar had banished
Cimber’s brother. Brutus and Cassius also plead on behalf of
Cimber. But Caesar does not relent. He is firm about decision about
Cimber’s brother. At this point the conspirators started to
stab him. Caesar’s great friend, Brutus also joins the others
in stabbing Caesar. Caesar is shocked to see this and utters “You
too, Brutus”. After the stabbing the conspirators shouted
slogans of ‘Liberty, freedom and enfranchisement’.
It is
believed that Calpurnia, Caesar’s wife had a premonition about
Caesar’s death. She didn’t want him to step out of the
house that day. But Caesar was very keen to go to Capitol today.
