Julius Caesar
It is the year 44 BCE. The last man standing of a once-mighty triumvirate, Julius Caesar has outgrown the old elected offices of the Roman Republic and been declared dictator perpetual. He is admired by many, hated by others, and—in particular—regarded with growing suspicion by a group of his closest associates, who fear that he may harbour ambitions of kingship such as the liberators of old had sworn to expel from Rome centuries ago. Driven by that example, the conspirators come to the conclusion that the only way to restore the Republic is to dispose of Caesar— permanently. But as the self-fashioned tyrannicides have to contend with those who loved him in life and are prepared to avenge his legacy in death, it becomes clear that this bloody deed may not have been the easy fix that they had hoped for— and may yet have hastened the demise of the very state they sought to defend.
