The Death of Caesar by Jean-Léon Gérôme. French, 1858-1867. Oil on canvas. In the Walters Art Museum, Baltimore.

According to Suetonius in his Vita Divi Juli (translated by J.C. Rolfe):

As he took his seat, the conspirators gathered about him as if to pay their respects, and straightway Tillius Cimber, who had assumed the lead, came nearer as though to ask something; and when Caesar with a gesture put him off to another time, Cimber caught his toga by both shoulders; then as Caesar cried, "Why, this is violence!" one of the Cascas stabbed him from one side just below the throat.​ Caesar caught Casca's arm and ran it through with his stylus,​ but as he tried to leap to his feet, he was stopped by another wound. When he saw that he was beset on every side by drawn daggers, he muffled his head in his robe, and at the same time drew down its lap to his feet with his left hand, in order to fall more decently, with the lower part of his body also covered. And in this wise he was stabbed with three and twenty wounds, uttering not a word, but merely a groan at the first stroke, though some have written that when Marcus Brutus rushed at him, he said in Greek, "You too, my child?"​ All the conspirators made off, and he lay there lifeless for some time, and finally three common slaves put him on a litter and carried him home, with one arm hanging down. And of so many wounds none turned out to be mortal, in the opinion of the physician Antistius, except the second one in the breast.

Tribus et viginti plagis confossus est.

[yorgunherakles]

akıl sağlığının yerinde olmadığını kendisi de farketmişti, uykuları huzurlu değildi, garip kabuslar görüp korkuyordu; gecenin büyük bir kesiminde uyuyamaması ve kabusların verdiği sıkıntı yüzünden kah yatakta otururken kah çok uzun sütunlu yollarda başıboş koşarken bağırmaya ve tan yerinin ağarmasını beklemeye alışmıştı.

saying tiberius raised caligula on capri is just wrong. after his mother's arrest caligula was raised by livia and later by antonia. he was called to capri in AD 31, when he was 19. if we really want to talk about a child's mental health being influenced by capri being sex pest island (debatable btw) lets talk about gemellus, who was TWELVE when he went with caligula. or even more lets talk about the slave boys and girls on the island.
