Divus Julius - The Ides of March was the day on which Julius Caesar was assassinated in the year 44 B.C. It was one of the major epoch-changing moments in the history of the world. • Caesar's body was placed on a stretcher and taken to the Domus Publica, where he lived as Pontifex Maximus, and here given to Calpurnia that made him prepare for the final rite: the servants washed the body and perfumed with unguents, was coated with praetexta robe and covered his head, in lectus funebris placed between the images of his ancestors. • The day after it held the funeral: the funeral procession left the Domus Publica between the heart-rending cries of Calpurnia, the coffin was supported by the magistrates, surrounded by all the patricians and plebeians who had held public office and followed by an immense crowd of citizens and veteran, walked the Via Sacra to the Rostra at the Forum. Here Marc Antony held the funeral speech, who recalled that Caesar had made in praise Caesar to Rome and also what he had left to all Romans and showed the bloody daggers of the conspirators and the blood-soaked robe of Caesar; in these words, the people rose up: two soldiers threw the candles on the coffin where the body lay and, immediately after the veterans of the legions threw their weapons on the fire, the matrons threw jewelry and all the people wanted to stoke the fire so they destroyed wooden stands prepared for the ceremony. • The next day Caesar's ashes were collected and placed on an altar and worshiped as divine; at the place for some nights stayed up Jews in thanksgiving for the privileges he had granted to their people of Alexandria. • Caesar's ashes were placed in an urn and the legends of the XII century report that was enclosed in a golden globe on the top of the obelisk that stood in the Circus of Nero on the Vatican Hill. • https://www.romeandart.eu/en/art-juli... • When he felt the end nearing in 79 AD, Emperor Vespasian, joked just before dying: “dear me, I think I am becoming a god“.
