The people were in a tumult. But seeing that they killed no one, the people calmed down. Brutus made a speech to them. Then he made his second great mistake, letting Antonio make a speech, and he read Caesar's will to the people. He stirred up the people against the conspirators, and showed the people the body of Caesar. The people burned Caesar's body. Brutus had to flee. He could not go back because Caesar's soldiers wanted to kill him.

The conspirators met on the day of the meeting of the senate, because they would not be suspected. They concealed daggers in their clothes to kill Caesar with. They surrounded his chair
as if asking for something. One of them did something to Caesar's garment, and Casca struck Caesar. Caesar was killed by them.

Solon

All the posts about Solon are a year or so old. That is why they are short and not as good as the Fabius ones.
