Accounts of Caesar s death vary (Image: HISTORY HIT)
She added: “The third version is Plutarch, who is writing about the same time as Suetonius, 150 years later.
“He is writing a biography of Caesar and trying to make it a parallel to Alexander the Great.
“In his version, Caesar basically says ‘what the hell are you doing?’ and holds on to the dagger which causes Casca to call for help.
“He is surrounded but fights back really hard until [Marcus] Brutas stabs him in the groin.”
And the final painted Caesar in a different light.
Dr Southon continued: “The fourth version comes from Appian about 180 years later and is writing a history of the civil wars.

Rome remembers the assassination of Julius Caesar on the Ides of March in 44 BC.
The Ides of March was the 74th day in the Roman calendar, determined by the full moon, and corresponded to 15 March.
It was traditionally marked by several religious observances and festivals and was also used by Romans as a landmark deadline for settling debts.
However the date took on a whole new significance in 44 BC when the
assassination of Julius Caesar made the Ides of March a turning point in Roman history.
Immensely popular with the people in Rome, Caesar was a successful military leader who expanded the republic to include parts of what are now Spain, France, Germany, Switzerland and Belgium.

Relighting of the Ara Pacis Museum comes just weeks before Rome reopens the Mausoleum of Augustus.
Rome s Ara Pacis museum and its monumental ancient altar have been illuminated with a new lighting system thanks to a financial contribution from Bulgari.
The luxury fashion house donated €120,000 to the re-lighting of the museum, in addition to the almost €87,000 of city funds, in its latest act of patronage towards Rome.
The project involved replacing the existing lighting system with new LED lights, both in the museum s exhibition spaces and around the altar, which was consecrated in 9 BC.
The re-lighting project at the museum, designed by US architect Richard Meier, comes amid a hive of activity in Piazza Augusto Imperatore.
