Rome to open ancient square where Julius Caesar was killed
ROME — History buffs will be able to stroll close to the spot where legend says Julius Caesar met his bloody end, when Rome authorities open a new walkway on the ancient site on Tuesday. Accounts, embellished by William Shakespeare, tell how the Roman dictator was stabbed to death by a group of aggrieved senators on the Ides of March – March 15 – in 44 BC. According to tradition, he died in the capital's central Largo Argentina square – home to the remains of four temples. They are all currently below street level and up until recently could only be viewed from behind barriers close to a busy road junction.
