What is the Story?

Conquering hero Julius Caesar returns to Rome, but little does he know that there is a conspiracy afoot among his dearest and most trusted allies. Leading it is Senator Cassius, who is convinced that Caesar wishes to transform Rome from a republic into a dictatorship, and crown himself as King. Along with a handful of other statesmen and military leaders, Cassius instigates a plot to assassinate him. Caesar's friend Marcus Brutus is initially unwilling to be a party to the killing, but Cassius, through trickery, convinces him.
