> The people that killed him got to write history so they made him into a bad guy. The people who killed him lost. Caesar Augustus, caesar's adopted son, ultimately prevailed. The history we get from that era is mostly the one that julius caesar himself wrote and what his allies wrote. As churchill said, history will be kind to me because I intend to write it. That's why millenia after caesar's death, everywhere from Russia (czar) to germany ( kaiser ) exalt him. Dante didn't put caesar in the mouth of satan in the center of hell. Dante put Brutus and Cassius in the mout of satan for eternity. You yourself quoted a shakespearean play that praises caesar and denigrates his killers. Brutus is reviled like Judas or Benedict Arnold. It's a name that lives in infamy.
