Chapter 11 holy julius

In the West, March 15th is never an auspicious date. On March 15, 44 BC, Julius Caesar, the founder of the Roman Empire, was stabbed to death with a dagger while discussing matters in the Senate.On the surface, Julius Caesar was actually just a victim of political struggle. Such emergencies were extremely accidental and even unavoidable. But before Caesar died, he himself had received many omens about his imminent assassination, and even many ominous omens were so obvious that even Caesar's attendants and friends felt lingering fears because of this, reminding Caesar to be assassinated. Watch out for the plotting actions of the Senate.While the generals stepped up their guard, Caesar was even more cautious.Unfortunately, such a prophecy finally came true.A generation of outstanding statesmen and military strategists have since fallen.

The ancients believed that whenever a catastrophe is about to occur, various visions will always appear in the sky as a warning to human beings.On the eve of Caesar's assassination, he was reminded by celestial phenomena.It is said that people once saw a huge meteor falling in the northwest direction.The falling meteor means that some important people are about to leave, and the direction to the northwest is the location of Caesar's mansion. This vision is likely to be closely related to Caesar.As a result, there were various prophecies that night, most of which indicated that Caesar would be in trouble today.

In the previous months, Caesar had sent a group of Roman soldiers to Capua to colonize.When they built a large square in the local area, an old tomb needed to be demolished.However, a large amount of treasure was accidentally discovered in the tomb. The soldiers saw that the money was open, so they worked harder and harder.Finally, while enjoying the windfall, they discovered a bronze tablet in the tomb of Capus, the founder of Capua.Inscribed in Greek on the board was a sensational curse, which meant that once the remains of Cappus were exposed, a descendant of the Julius family would die at the hands of his friends, and soon all of Rome would be destroyed. There will be unprecedented reprisals.

Caesar is the descendant of the Julius family, and even after his death, he was named "Holy Julius". Another record says that a few days before Caesar's death, a soldier reported that when he crossed the Rubicon River, the horses sacrificed to the river god not only did not eat grass, but even wept collectively.What this strange phenomenon foreshadowed, no one could explain clearly at that time. Just the day before Caesar's assassination, he and his close friend Lepidus went out hunting together. The two talked while walking, and even brought the topic to the question of how to choose their own death method.Caesar asked Lepidus what was the best way to die, everyone had different opinions, and finally Caesar concluded that he would rather die suddenly than suffer painful torture.Although everyone didn't understand Caesar's thoughts at the time, this thought became a reality the next day.

It is said that Caesar also had a dream that night. He dreamed that he and Jupiter, the highest god in Rome, were flying hand in hand in the sky.Caesar's wife even had hallucinations at one point. She saw her roof collapse and her husband was stabbed and died in her arms. If all this did not cause Caesar to warn, one of his prophet friends even calculated the day of his accident.The friend's name was Spliner, and he was the most famous soothsayer in Rome.That day, after Caesar and Spliner had sacrificed to the god of the gods, he suddenly pulled Caesar aside and told him that he was on the verge of a catastrophe that would not dissipate until March 15.Moreover, Spliner reminded Caesar to be more cautious on March 15th.Once again, however, Caesar laughed off such predictions, thinking that Spliner was utterly unfounded.

Even on March 15th, Caesar joked with Spliner on his way to the Senate Hall of the Senate: "March 15th has already arrived!" But Spliner warned Caesar: "Yes, March 15th has indeed come, but it hasn't passed yet." Just when Caesar was about to reach the council hall, he received a whistleblower revealing that the senators were plotting to assassinate him.But perhaps it was fate that Caesar did not read the contents of the letter in time, so he finally fell into a pool of blood in the conference hall. Even after Caesar's death, the rumors continued. In the early years, Caesar defeated Pompey and sat firmly on the throne of king. At that time, there was a saying in Rome that "Caesar laughed, Pompey cried".It means that Caesar and Pompey are irreconcilable opponents, and there is no possibility of reconciliation between the two.And where Caesar was assassinated and fell, there was a statue of Pompey.

For thousands of years, people have maintained a strong interest in Caesar's death.All the omens proved that something great would happen to the Roman emperor, but Caesar did not escape the pursuit of fate after all.The prophecies of Sprina and those seemingly coincidental visions all show that the "Holy Julius" of the Roman Empire will eventually fall. Although many scholars maintain a consistent veto attitude towards prophecy, and even think that it is just a topic for some boring people in later generations to pass the time.But the only unchangeable fact is that Caesar is dead.As the emperor of Rome, he should have received informant information for such an obvious murder, but why didn't Caesar reverse his fate in the end?

What the truth is, I'm afraid it's already unknown.
