Keyword is story. In reality, Caesar—like Trump—was hated by the corrupt political elite because the common people of Rome had a genuine respect and love for him.
Eh… that’s looking at it too simplistically. The Republic was already in tatters from decades of civil war. No way the old structures could hold together in a burgeoning empire. Caesars assassination was just confirmation that the constitutional republic, who’s rule of law, was based on oath and honor, had fallen beyond repair
Caesar was a tyrant. Brutus was the hero of the story.
