I think I've seen this discussed elsewhere but has there ever been as dramatic an assassination as Caesar's?Can anyone think of one?
Just think about it - the undisputed ruler of a Great Power is murdered in the legislature itself by legislators. It would be like Congressmen murdering Bush when he goes to deliver the State of the Union address.
Has any other leader been killed in so dramatic fashion by the political leaders of the day at the centre of power?

Oswald.
