THE IDES OF MARCH OF 44 B.C.: THE IDEOLOGY OF THE CONSPIRATORS
The article explores the question concerning the directions of propaganda chosen by Gaius Julius Caesar’s opponents. The author concludes that the Senate opposition, deprived of the real possi-bility to guide the policy of Rome, managed to unite and to declare the political slogan of the res-toration of the political system, hallowed by their ancestors. However, the promotion of the con-spirators has affected only the upper strata of society, and was powerless to damage the image of Caesar in the public opinion.
