On March 15, 44 BC, Julius Caesar was stabbed 23 times as he entered a meeting of the Roman Senate despite having received a warning to “beware the Ides of March.” As the Ides are drawing near, we at the eCool Compound are going to spend the next few days paying homage to Julius Caesar. Thus, today we kick things off by setting the stage for his violent death.
If you could time travel and make your way back to 44 BC, what would you see? What did Caesar see in his final days as he strolled through Rome, unaware that 60 senators were plotting to take his life?
To answer these questions and to learn a bit about Rome, past and present, we recommend an insightful slideshow about Caesar’s Rome that was created by The Institute of Design + Culture in Rome.
