Caesar was killed because he had many enemies. He also had an illegitimate child. Members of the senate wanted to restore republican liberties. They also had no need for a despot. Many did not want Caesar to start an empire, and many didn't like leaving the old ways either. The wealthy Senate also did not want to have their taxes spent on projects for the benefit of the low class. Many thought killing Caesar was only for the good of Rome. The assassins believed he was too powerful, and they ended him.
