Brutus and Cassius are in the wrong for assasinating Julius Caesar.

Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longinus were Roman senators who saw the detrimental effects Julius Caesar brought to the Republic, And therefore rightfully assasinated him with fellow optimate senators. Julius Caesar, The famous general who who was in the First Triumviarte, Had created a full fledge war against the Gaul without asking the Senate"s permission. Julius Caesar defeats his adversaries including Vercingetorix through genius military tactics, Though he was brutal towards the enemies citizens. Before Caesar waged a war to gain political power (similar to Crassus) he used the First Triumviarte to give him power that was unprecedented. Personally, I agree with Marcus Porcius Cato (Cato the Younger) on that the First Triumviarte would not work out with such powerful men, But the three men (Caesar, Pompey, And Crassus) would give each other help in asserting their power. This tactic they used was fundamentally against the Republic, And which lead to the fall of the Republic. Though Gaius Marius and Lucius Cornelius Sulla waged a civil war between Rome, There was never 2 men sided with them that were as powerful as these men. When Crassus was utterly defeated in the Battle of Carrhae in 53 B. C, His political power was not near Julius Caesar or Pompey, So he wanted to get himself to be more powerful. Similar to Julius Caesar, Crassus should have never been allowed to wage war in the east, But through his two political allies he was able to make one of the worst disastrous attacks in Roman history. Julius Caesar luckily had much more skill as a commander, So he came back to Rome with loot, And an even better army, But this time, He wasn"t coming back to Rome to celebrate. Pompey and Caesar did not give up their army, Though the senators begged both Caesar and Pompey to. The senators still liked the slightly more conservative Pompey (though he helped pass laws for citizens of Rome for Caesar"s consulship that were unnecessary, And requesting land for his soldiers after his conquests though that was not considerate of the availability of the land in Rome). Most of the senators fled with Pompey, And the optimates lost the civil war. Julius Caesar was victorious in the Battle of Pharsalus, Which was the decisive win that made Pompey retreat to Egypt, Where he would be beheaded by the Egyptian King. Unlike Cato the Younger and Metellus Scipio, Who both committed suicide after standing for their strong beliefs against Caesar, Brutus and Cassius surrendered. Many senators did surrender, Including Marcus Tullius Cicero. In my opinion, I think Cato the younger and Metellus Scipio were the most honorable of all the Roman Optimates through their courage and determination to preserve the Republic from the ambitious Caesar. It is more understandable for Brutus to surrender to Caesar, Because he possibly could have been his son (very unlikely, But Julius Caesar played a father role for him), Though I don"t condemn Brutus for giving up the fight. Though Cassius surrendered to Caesar, He refused to fight in the war against his previous allies Cato the younger and Metellus Scipio. When Julius Caesar came back to Rome victorious, He called himself dictator for 10 years, But then it became "for life". Some of the reforms Julius Caesar made included allowing himself to veto the senate, And permanent Tribune powers. Julius Caesar also wanted to have a stronger central government, And a Roman army that was centralized. (https://en. M. Wikipedia. Org/wiki/Constitutional_reforms_of_Julius_Caesar )Julius Caesar also had claimed a dynasty that would be formed under through his genealogy, With his son from Cleopatra. The Roman senators were already disgusted of this non Roman affair Julius Caesar had (though the man had seduced countless married women). Julius Caesar had given himself power that was unprecedented in Roman history, Since the Kings of Rome. Going back to my point, The optimate senators had full on evidence to kill Caesar after his radical change. Julius Caesar had charmed the common people of Rome through manipulation, Promised unreasonable land and money for his soldiers and exaggeration (similar to what Mark Antony and Octavian would do). Brutus, And Cassius were trying to save the Republic before it utterly fell to a kingship, As Julius Caesar had almost the same amount of power as the Seven Kings 450 years before him. The Republic was far from what it used to be, And they were rightfully trying to preserve the Republic (which had defeated Hannibal, Pyrrhus, Mithridates) and had gained land and money like never before.
