Draft:The Assassination Of Julius Caesar: A People's History of Ancient Rome

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Assassination Of Julius Caesar: A People's History of Ancient Rome is a 2003 book by American political scientist, academic historian and cultural critic Michael Parenti that was published in the United States by The New Press.

The Assassination Of Julius Caesar: A People's History of Ancient Rome was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in October 2003.[1]

Parenti's book posits that the conspiracy to murder Julius Caesar in 44 BC did not come from a desire to prevent his autocratic rule, but instead from an elite patrician group who feared the economic consequences of his land reforms and his forgiveness of debts for a large number of the Roman people.
