Premise: Gaius Julius Caesar ( [ ˈɡaː.i.ʊs ˈjuː.li.ʊs ˈkae̯.sar ] ; 13 July 100 BC -- 15 March 44 BC ) , known as Julius Caesar , was a Roman politician , general , and notable author of Latin prose . These achievements granted him unmatched military power and threatened to eclipse the standing of Pompey , who had realigned himself with the Senate after the death of Crassus in 53 BC . But the underlying political conflicts had not been resolved , and on the Ides of March ( 15 March ) 44 BC , Caesar was assassinated by a group of rebellious senators led by Marcus Junius Brutus .
Hypothesis: Julius Caesar held office in 44 CE.
