And they did it to try and keep the republic going.....
Since the beginning of Marius seven year rule of Rome when Caesar was a child, the expansion of Roman citizenship had been expanding to include all of Italy....
The patricians had gone into te country, established large estates and basically turned the whole of Italy into a feudal system...
The move by Caesar, via Anthony, was to cut the power to the Patritians....
Caesar wasn's bad a guy as everyone thinks he was...
when you put him in the context of the times, he would have been a populist while the patricians in the Senate would have been the big business....
He expanded the say of the people....
Marc Anthony was a general, a brute and a creation of the Patritians....
Attia and Servila were two key members of the ruling class who had blood ties going back almost as far Ceasar.....
In fact, Caeser and Attia shared the same blood, the Julia....
