Ceasar's life
However, on the Ides of March of 44 BC, all of that came to an end. Caesar was assassinated
outside the Senate Building in Rome. He was killed in a conspiracy by his Senators.
Many of the Senators thought he was a threat to the republic's well-being. It was thought that Caesar
was making plans to have himself declared king. After Caesar's murder, Cleopatra fled Rome and
me. After Brutus
and Cassius had been killed and Antony, Octavian and Lepidus were triumphant, Cleopatra knew
which one she would have to deal with. Octavian went back to Italy very ill, so Antony was the one
to watch. Her son gained his right to become king when Caesar was officially divinized in Rome on
January 1, 42 BC. The main object was the promotion of Octavian, but the triumvirs knew of
Cleopatra's aid to Dolabella.
