Julius Caesar’s death marked the end of the Republic

The killing of Caesar was intended to preserve the Roman Republic and prevent any one individual from assuming total control, according to the conspirators. However, things didn't turn out as they had hoped. Caesar's killers fled as his lifeless body lay in the Pompeian Theater. Only a few days later, Caesar's body was brought to the Roman Forum for a large funeral that was attended by mourning Roman citizens who were still in shock over the passing of their idol.

There, Caesar's buddy Marc Antony delivered a speech that inflamed the Roman populace. The Liberators' Civil War, in which Marc Antony, Octavian, and the enraged Roman populace fought against the perpetrators of Caesar's assassination, was prompted by this sequence of events. The end of this conflict and the beginning of the new Roman Empire came with the accession of Octavian to the throne.

Rome's populace burned their beloved dictator there in the Roman Forum because they were so heartbroken by his death. Many years later, his heir, Octavion, erected the Temple of the Deified Julius Caesar in his honor on the same site. Caesar's cremation site is still accessible to visitors today; a mound marks the location where his remains were burned almost 2,000 years ago. Julius Caesar has not been forgotten because flowers and money in his honor are frequently placed on the mound.
