I always understood he was stabbed in his forum.
Beats being shot in the fracas.

the General was stabbed right at the bottom of the Curia
Sounds like a bad place to get stabbed. And wouldn't 'Dictator' be a better title than General? At this point in his career, Caesar commanded no troops. He was, however, the appointed Dictator of Rome.

HE was stabbed in his salad bowel.

Caesar was only a few days from leaving Rome for the safety of his army. I wonder how history would have played out had he lived?
He would likely have subdued the Dacians centuries before Trajan would do so. He mostly likely would have defeated the Parthians and avenged the disaster at Carrhae, but would it have been purely a punitive campaign or would he have carved out new Roman provinces in the Middle East and beyond?
Would Caesar have founded the Principate instead of Octavian? Would Octavian have succeeded Caesar and still become Augustus?
Anyway, Roman-related posts are always appreciated.

I thought Julius Seizure was just a wine about a stabbing pain and death on a Gallo's.

Brutus was an honorable man. J. Caeasar began the consolidation of power in Rome and the destruction of the Roman Republic:He succeeded.
Brutus is my guy, not J. Caesar, Maximum Leader.

""We know for sure that the place where Julius Caesar presided over that session of the Senate, and where he fell stabbed, was closed with a rectangular structure organized under four walls delimiting a Roman concrete filling. However, we don't know if this closure also involved that the building ceased to be totally accessible". "um...huh?
