Julius Caesar has been made emperor of Rome for life, and many also want him king. Some Roman Senators envy Caesar his success and decide that Caesar must die. Caesar's friend, the popular Marcus Brutus, soon succumbs to their influence and joins their plot. The conspirators discover that assassination is a messy tool for achieving power, however, and ruling Rome is much more complicated than simply removing Caesar.
