reveal his neck. It was the signal for the attack. One senator, who was close to Caesar, aimed a blow with his dagger at his throat, but missed it. Cimber then ceased Caesars hand; Caesar threw him to the ground and then the other assassins closed in on him. Cassius wounded him in the face, and when Brutus struck him in the thigh, Caesar cried out in Greek et tu, brute? or you to Brutus, he then cried you too, my child? and fell dead. He fell at the foot of Pompeys statue, somewhat ironic he should die at the foot of his greatest enemy. After Caesars funeral the senate house was burned by an enraged populace the assassins houses were also burned, forcing the conspirators to flee. The one true King of Rome killed before his time, by the hands of those who supposedly loved him.So it seems as if most of Caesars great life was spent climbing up the slow latter to power. But when he achieved his goal his life was literally cut short by scared politicians. Politicians who were scared of someone who could bring true order to a world that thrived on turmoil. Caesar would have probably led Rome into a new golden era, but now the heavens only know what could have been.IN TRIBUTE TO A GREAT KING- GAIUS JULIUS CAESAR (JULY, 100BC - MARCH, 44BC)...
