Question

Before Julius Caesar was killed, many senators were afraid that he was planning to turn the Roman Republic into an empire. What caused them to believe this was possible?

Answer 1

Caesar had been declared a dictator for life.

Step-by-step explanation:

Julius Caesar was a strong and admired leader of the Roman Republic. Still, many feared he was turning the republic into an empire. He led his army across the Rubicon River to attack his enemies in 49 BC/BCE. This was in spite of the senate ordering him not to do so. Caesar was appointed "dictator for life" in 44 BC/BCE even though Roman dictators were meant to be temporary. He was killed shortly afterward.

Answer 2

Caesar had been declared a dictator for life.
