> The people that killed him got to write history No they didn’t. The primary sources for Julius Caesar’s life are Julius Caesar writing about his own campaigns, Plutarch, Suetonius and Appian. None of the conspirators wrote any history that has survived. They literally turned this man into a God after he died! By 42BC the Senate considered him a God. His successor adopted his name and called himself Gaius Julius Caesar because he wanted to be associated with the name. Many Roman emperors adopted the name Caesar. And German kaiser, Russian tsar and Turkish kaiser-i-Rum all refer to this one man.
