William Shakespeare's gripping play revealed Caesar's assassination to be an amateur and idealistic affair. The true killing, however, was a carefully prepared paramilitary procedure, a generals' plot put together by Caesar's disaffected officials and designed with perfection. Brutus and Cassius were indeed key players, however they had the help of the third man - Decimus. He was the mole in Caesar's entourage, one of Caesar's leading generals, and a lifelong friend. It had been he, not Brutus, who truly betrayed Caesar. Caesar's assassins noticed him as a military dictator who wanted to be ruler. He threatened a long term change in the Roman way of life and in the energy of senators. The assassins rallied support among the normal people, however they underestimated Caesar's soldiers, who flooded Rome. The assassins were vanquished; their much loved Republic became the Roman Empire.
