In 44 BC, the Ides of March took on a new significance. Previously observed as the first full moon of the new year, the 15 March is today remembered as the anniversary of the assassination of Julius Caesar. In this episode, Dr Emma Southon talks Tristan through the events leading up to the Caesar’s assassination: was he forewarned with omens in the days preceding his death? Who was involved in the plot and why did they want to kill him? Did Caesar really say ‘et tu Brute?’ And what of the more important ‘other’ Brutus? Emma tells the story of this momentous day. Quick note: Caesar wasn’t technically killed in the Senate House. He was killed in the senate meeting room, which at that time was held in the Curia of Pompey. We also follow the theory that it was upon seeing Decimus Brutus, not Marcus Brutus, that Caesar gave up and stopped resisting his assassins. The debate continues!
