Caesar and Crossing The River Rubicon
Crossing the River Rubicon was a big moment for Caesar. Caesar and his half of the army went out of Rome to conquer other territories and civilizations in Gaul (present day France). The Senate was concerned that Caesar would come into Rome with a whole army at his will and officially take over Rome. Caesar was afraid if he reentered Rome, the Senate would charge him for his less desirable deeds and actions while he was consul of Rome. Caesar eventually gets over it and leads his army through the waters of River Rubicon.
Caesar says "The die is cast!" This phrase is a metaphor with the die meaning a numbered cube that has been thrown. This represents you fulfilling a choice you made when faced with a decision. When there is no way to go back this is something you could say.

The Ides Of March
The Ides of March started out as a normal day, but Caesar was being plotted against by the Senate. Caesar had received warning from a fortune-teller that there would be much blood spared that day, one from his wife from a dream the previous night telling him something bad was going to happen if he went to work, and the third was an anonymous note telling him the Senate was planning on killing him. Caesar ignored these warnings and went to work anyway. The Senate did stab him 23 times and he died from a blow to his chest. No one knows the actual reason for the Senate killing Caesar but we can infer that they were jealous of his power and influence on everyone. The Senate also wanted to charge Caesar with public bribery and his less desirable actions angered the Senate. After Caesar was killed the Roman Empire fell into a state of parallel. They didn't know what to do. Someone stepped into power but the Empire eventually fell completely.
