History
In 44 BCE, forty Senators, secretly Assassins, conspired against the Roman general and dictator Gaius Julius Caesar. Meeting in a secret cave below where the Santa Maria in Aracoeli would later stand, the Assassins designed plans for the assassination, led by Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longinus.[1]
Brutus discovered an ancient vault deeper inside the cave, where he received visions of Caesar's future assassination. This motivated Brutus more, and on 15 March 44 BCE, twenty-three of the Assassins stabbed Caesar to death.[1]
Brutus was eventually defeated in battle at Philippi by Marcus Antonius, and committed suicide. The Roman Assassins later found his body, and tried to revive him using the Shroud of Eden. However, Brutus was only revived for a brief moment, before ultimately dying.[2]
On 24 January 41 CE, the Roman Assassin Leonius killed Roman Emperor Caligula with a dagger.[3]
