Roman Forum & Palatine Hill

Caesar's Ghost and the Comet

The dictator's soul ascending to the heavens over the Forum

44-42 BCRoman Forum & Palatine Hill

On the Ides of March, 44 BC, Gaius Julius Caesar — conqueror of Gaul, master of the Roman world, dictator perpetuo — was stabbed twenty-three times by a conspiracy of senators in the Theater of Pompey. His body was carried to the Roman Forum, and what followed would blur the boundary between mortal and divine, leaving a mark upon the Forum that can still be seen today.
