While some senators thought they could save the republic by killing Julius Caesar and taking back the powers of government, his death actually sped up the change from a republic to an empire. Why was the Senate unsuccessful in regaining control of the republic?

On March 15, 44 BCE, Julius Caesar, dictator of Rome, was stabbed to death by about 40 senators. Julius Caesar was assassinated by about 40 Roman senators on the "ides of March" (March 15) 44 BCE. Caesar's death resulted in a long series of civil wars that ended in the death of the Roman Republic and the birth of the Roman Empire.
