CaesarGaius Iulius Caesar was murdered by members of the senate because he began acting like a king, a very dangerous thing to do in a recently repuclicenated republic.

Recent? The Republic was founded in 510 B.C. so it wasn't recent. It was because he was acting like a king, something that was frowned upon by fervent Republicans. He was appointed dictator for life, a position that contradicted the hallowed institutions that made Rome great.

The Senate didn't like his Political actions, it broke SPQR law. Theoretically the only time he could be a Dictator was for six months and for in a time of justice. Nothing was wrong with Rome at the time and he was elected Dictator for life which annoyed the Senate, resulting in his death.

Julius Caesar was stabbed to death in the Roman Senate by a group led by Marcus Junius Brutus. Cassius, a friend, was first to stab, then Brutus last.

A group of conspirators - who had decided that Caesar had turned into a dictator who would do away with Rome's "ancient Republican freedoms and virtues" - some 60 men approached Caesar as he entered the Senate building, pretending they wanted to hand him a petition.

When Caesar indicated that he had no time to deal with the petition they fell on him with daggers and stabbed him to death. Caesar received 23 stab wounds, of witch according to the later autopsy only one - in the chest - had been fatal.

Caesar was killed by a stab wound from a knife. It is said that out of all the wounds he received, there was only one that was fatal. The others were all symbolic gestures.
