Julius Caesar was stabbed to death in the Roman Senate on March 15, 44 BC--the Ides of March according to the Roman calendar. He was, says author Barry Strauss, the last casualty of one civil war and the first casualty of the next civil war, which would end the Roman Republic and inaugurate the Roman Empire.
