Conspiracy and controversy have existed as long as governmental systems have been in place.

Despite having lived more than 2,000 years ago, Julius Caesar remains one of the most famous leaders to have met a brutal end. The dictator in perpetuity of the Roman Empire died on the Ides of March in 44 B.C.

Senators Brutus and Cassius led a gang of senators referenced as the Liberators and stabbed the leader to death outside the Theatre of Pompey.

They claimed that they feared Caesar planned to escape with the Senate and create a dictatorship. Although once Caesar had been eliminated, they created a tyrannical government themselves.
