47. For political murders in Rome 133–52 BC, Sigismund 2008, with emphasis (530–533) on the quest for legality, even if ginned up after the fact.

48. For the conspirators’ discarded plans—killing Caesar on the Via Sacra, or during a comitia, or at the theater—Nic. Dam. 81; Suet. Jul. 80.4 (on which Horsfall 1974, 192–194). Harmodius and Aristogeiton, Thuc. 6.54–59 with Alföldi 1985, 321. Knowledge of historical Greek tyrant slaying—Friedel 1937, 27–72, 98–103; Berve 1967, passim with 2.742 for literature—may have been another motive of the assassination, but the details of such acts are too diverse to have provided the conspirators against Caesar with a useful model.
