After many victories in battle, Julius Caesar returned to Rome in February 44 BC, and he declared himself dictator for life. This declaration, along with some of Caesar’s other gestures of power, led many in the Roman Senate to turn against him. Sixty members of the Senate concluded that the only resolution was to assassinate Caesar. Many of the Senators took an actual physical part in this act.
