Which historical character was assassinated on the Ides of March?
Correct answer: Julius Caesar

LewisLayyyd
I enjoy the fact you still learn something if you get the question wrong.

Vic Nep
I am led to understand that Caesar was quite popular among the plebeians and the have-nots. That was the primary reason for the patrician plot against him. One of the conspirators' leaders, Brutus, was Caesar's close friend and rumored to be his son.

Very interesting information.

Pegasus
The all thing basically can be resumed into Julius Caesar wanting to return The Roman Republic back to the people,whilst the Senate and the Senators were against the idea of the people holding the power.
Back than,as today,no matter what the intentions and the wills of the people may be,the regime and whoever is pulling the strings of Human History,will always rule and write our fate in the anals of History.

Diane Peacock
Shilo Harrington, He definitely didnt have trustworthy friends as they were the ones who helped kill him.

Player #1110780
his friends were a bunch of backstabbers

Bob Smith
heavy hangs the head that wears the crown

MelCarter
His wife begged him not to go to the senate that day. She told him she had a premonition of his assignation. Lesson for today? Bad things happen when you don't listen to your wife!

Player #1110780, Back in those days families killed each other over titles and thrones! They were ruthless

This explains why Aries on the zodiac is the first ruler of the house. March st one time being the first month of the Roman calendar year.

Harpoon10004, No, Caesar is basically the same as King, etc. I believe anyway.

Roman numerals have no "0" zero

Diane Peacock, they weren't his friends;they were his political rivals.Most Roman rulers made the point of killing off their more vocal rivals,while Julius decided to spare his.Bad idea,as it turned out.

Vic Nep, Brutus was his adopted son,not a blood relative.

LJ
Pegasus, Julius Caesar never wanted the people to have more power. He had made himself dictator because he craved more power for himself.

LJ
Vic Nep, one of the main reasons was that Julius Caesar had made himself dictator for life and intended to become king.

Tim
Vic Nep, “Et tu Brute?”

Artie
Magnificent play by Shakespeare.

Shirley
I hit the wrong one by accident, I absolutely knew the right answer

MelCarter, Heita Mel, had Brutus failed to assassinate today, he would had done tomorrow, maybe he failed yesterday.

Player #1128249, unfortunately, people are still killing family members over the almighty dollar! Children killing parents for it!!! what a shame. 😥

I am happy 🤩

Denise
Vic nep... Brutus was his adopted son.... and Caesar was actually about to include Gauls in to the senate.... holy moly 🤯

Tony
A woman seer told Caesar before that day, "Beware the Ides of March." And Brutus was probably the last to stab him because Julius said, "Et tu, Brutus?"

I did not know it is a timeout game, its rubbish for old folks

arohanui

Mary
LewisLayyyd, agreed

lethalbillmunny, cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once. Of all the wonders that I yet have heard, it seems to me most strange that men should fear, seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come.

Pegasus, if voting could actually change things, it would be outlawed
