Julius Caesar’s killers were not at all justified in the killing of Caesar. Caesar was really the first person that had a lot of power that really wanted to please the people, not just the rich people that could pay others to vote for them. This was the beginning of a revolution in the way that it started how we vote for others. By just showing other rulers that people are able to take control of who they put in power revolutionized us to being a republic, and it was a slow but steady step in the dissolving of dictatorship. In this way, Caesar could have shown some other brilliant leadership skills that would have a positive, or maybe even negative, effect in the government views today. I can’t really say whether they had justification, because I never lived through his time, nor do I have the mindset of ancient Rome. But, it is my belief that taking someone’s life is only justified, not acceptable, if this person was a serious threat to those innocent people around him or her. So, unless Caesar had people at gun, or knife point in this case, I really don’t think he could have done much harm. The people who assassinated him saw their dictatorship coming to an end, and in their fear, they decided that it would be best to kill him, to show all those who believe in Caesar’s way, are really believing in a dead man’s way.Julius Caesar’s killers were not at all justified in the killing of Caesar.
