Reply to comment by laconicflow in TIL nearly 60 senators were part of the conspiracy to assassinate Julius Caesar, but he was stabbed 23 times, with only 1 wound being fatal. Caesar ultimately died at the base of the statue of his former rival, Pompey the Great. by axonable
Yeah, Caesar was honestly just another nail in the coffin, not the first and not the last. If he had died in a more regal and honorable way earlier on there probably would have been someone else to replace him, as the main issue was the more to do with the senate than any tyrant.
My statement was more of a hypothetical for if everything else went right. If the senate had fixed itself, and truly wanted to help the people, and taken power away from generals, and had reorganized itself, then Caesar would still have had to have his dictatorial powers taken even if through force.
