Julius Caesar is a historical tragedy about the conspiracy against the Roman dictator Julius Caesar, his assassination, and the civil war that followed. Brutus, a noble senator who fears Caesar's ambition will destroy the Roman Republic, joins a conspiracy led by Cassius. They stab Caesar to death at the Senate. Mark Antony, Caesar's loyal friend, sways the Roman public against the conspirators with a powerful funeral speech. Brutus and Cassius flee Rome and form an army, but are defeated by Antony and Octavius Caesar at the Battle of Philippi, leading to their suicides.
Caesar returns to Rome in triumph. A Soothsayer warns him to 'Beware the ides of March'. Cassius, jealous of Caesar's power, works to recruit the respected Marcus Brutus to join his conspiracy against Caesar.
