Julius Caesar #403337

"Julius Caesar" is one of the greatest political thrillers written by William Shakespeare. The play sets forth in Rome around 44 B.C. and tells the story of the conspiracy against Caesar, his assassination and the defeat of his conspirators.

Jealous conspirators convince Caesar's friend Brutus to join their assassination plot against Caesar. To stop Caesar from gaining too much power, Brutus and the conspirators kill him on the Ides of March. Mark Antony drives the conspirators out of Rome and fights them in a battle. Brutus and his friend Cassius lose and kill themselves, leaving Antony to rule in Rome.
