# Caesar is assassinated on the Ides of March 44 BCE as later dated

Date: 44 BC

## The fact

On the Ides of March 44 BCE Caesar was assassinated. Conspirators claimed a restored republic. Another civil war followed. He did not write that war. Julius Caesar's documented role is: He did not stab himself. Conspirators killed him; the act opened another civil war, not a restored republic as they claimed.

## Context
