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.

I also really like Historia Civilis’s story on Julius Caesar. It has pretty rudimentary art but it explains really well how he took power, conquered Gaul, and ultimately ended up becoming dictator for life before being executed killed.

Honestly, watching the series I came to the conclusion that Caesar was not a good person and perhaps even needed to die if the republic was to keep going, but nevertheless his death was disturbing and he deserved better than blatant betrayal.
