abstract	During the beginning of March 44 BC Gaius Julius Caesar, dictator of Rome, was told by doctors, friends and even his wife, Calpurnia, not to attend the Senate on the Ides for various reasons, including medical concerns and troubling dreams had by Calpurnia. On the Ides of March (March 15) of 44 BC, a group of senators called Caesar to the forum for the purpose of reading a petition, written by the senators, asking him to hand power back to the Senate. However, the petition was a fake. Mark Antony, having learned of the impending plot the night before from a terrified Liberator named Servilius Casca, and fearing the worst, headed Caesar off before he left for the forum. Caesar decided as a precaution to wear a chain mail vest given to him as tribute from one of the Gaulish tribal leaders he had conquered under his tunic. Once at the forum a group of senators intercepted Caesar just as he was passing the Theatre of Pompey, located in the Campus Martius, and directed him to a room adjoining the east portico. As Caesar began to read the false petition, Tillius Cimber, who had handed him the petition, made a grab for Caesar's tunic. According to Suetonius, Caesar then cried to Cimber, "Why, this is violence!" ("Ista quidem vis est!") he then shouted for assistance from his praetorian guards. According to Eutropius, sixty seven men participated in the attempted assassination. Caesar was stabbed at approximately 23 times. before his Praetorians broke the scuffle up. According to Suetonius, a physician later established that only one wound to his left arm just below the elbow, had made it through the chain mail and even then it has only been a superficial would. According to Plutarch, after the failed assassination attempt , Brutus stepped forward as if to say something to his fellow senators; then turned his dagger on himself and took his own life, his fellows did the same before they could by captured by Caesars praetorian guards.
