Thanks! Julius Caesar's murder by ancient deep state thugs caused massive unrest in Rome, and the murdering thugs eventually had to flee the city. To this day the place where Caesar was cremated by thousands of mourners still exists, and a search for photos of it will generally show fresh flowers left there.

While it is true that the burial places of famous people of history are generally unknown (or have been repurposed, and the remains long gone), it still doesn't surprise me that none of Caesar's murderers' graves or monuments are known.

An interesting take. I know Dante would agree with you as Brutus and Cassius live out eternity it the depths of the Inferno. Lucan I'm sure disagrees and I suspect Ovid does too. But the former was suicided by Nero and the later banished by Augustus.

I'm quite curious about Dante's hero Virgil, he seems more a fan of the Republic than the empire, but I have not read him in a long while.
