On 15 March 44 BC, Octavius's adoptive father Julius Caesar was assassinated by a conspiracy led by Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longinus.

After seemingly destroying all his enemies and bringing peace to Rome he was assassinated by friends in a conspiracy organized by Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longinus.

Here he followed the precedent of Lucius Junius Brutus and Julius Caesar.

From around 1810 to 1840, the best-known Shakespearean performances in the United States were tours by leading London actors — including George Frederick Cooke, Junius Brutus Booth, Edmund Kean, William Charles Macready, and Charles Kemble.

Booth's parents, the noted British Shakespearean actor Junius Brutus Booth and his mistress Mary Ann Holmes, came to the United States from England in June 1821.

Nora Titone, in her book My Thoughts Be Bloody, recounts how the shame and ambition of Junius Brutus Booth's two illegitimate actor sons, Edwin and John Wilkes Booth, would eventually spur them to strive, as rivals, for achievement and acclaim — Edwin, a Unionist, and John Wilkes, the assassin of Abraham Lincoln.

Aspiring to follow in the footsteps of his father and his actor brothers, Edwin and Junius Brutus, Jr., Booth began practicing elocution daily in the woods around Tudor Hall and studying Shakespeare.

But the underlying political conflicts had not been resolved, and on the Ides of March ( 15 March ) 44 BC, Caesar was assassinated by a group of senators led by Marcus Junius Brutus.

Caesar also wrote that if Octavian died before Caesar did, Marcus Junius Brutus would be the next heir in succession.

In 138 BC, the Roman general Decimus Junius Brutus sought to dispose of the myth, as it impeded his military campaigns in the area.

Tarquinius ' other daughter, Tarquinia, married Marcus Junius Brutus ( father of Lucius Junius Brutus ).

This outrage inspired an uprising led by the aristocrat Lucius Junius Brutus, which resulted in the expulsion of Tarquin and his family from Rome.

Tarquin also had a sister, Tarquinia, the mother of Lucius Junius Brutus.

Lucretia's kinsman Lucius Junius Brutus ( himself a member of the Tarquin dynasty ) and Lucretia's widowed husband, Lucius Tarquinius Collatinus ( grand-nephew of Tarquinus Priscus and thus also a member of the dynasty ) led the revolt, along with Publius Valerius Poplicola, and Lucretia's aging father, Spurius Lucretius Tricipitinus.

Those selected were Publius Valerius Publicola from Rome and Lucius Junius Brutus from the camp at Ardea.

Two years after, in 137 BC Decimus Junius Brutus Callaicus led a successful campaign against the Lusitani, reaching as far north as the Minho river.

Romans scored other victories with proconsul Decimus Junius Brutus Callaicus and Gaius Marius ( elected in 113 BC ), but still the Lusitani resisted with a long guerilla war ; they later joined Sertorius ' ( a renegade Roman General ) troops ( around 80 BC ) and were finally defeated by Augustus ( around 28-24 BC ).

* 44 BC – Julius Caesar, Dictator of the Roman Republic, is stabbed to death by Marcus Junius Brutus, Gaius Cassius Longinus, Decimus Junius Brutus and several other Roman senators on the Ides of March.

Booth's father, Junius Brutus Booth, was named for Brutus, and Booth ( as Marcus Antonius ) and his brother ( as Brutus ) had performed in a production of Julius Caesar in New York just six months before the assassination.

Nora Titone, in her book My Thoughts Be Bloody, recounts how the shame and ambition of Junius Brutus Booth's three illegitimate actor sons, Junius Brutus Booth Jr. ( who never achieved the stage stardom of his two younger actor brothers ) Edwin and John Wilkes Booth, spurred them to strive, as rivals, for achievement and acclaim — Edwin, a Unionist, and John Wilkes, the assassin of Abraham Lincoln.

Nora Titone, in her book My Thoughts Be Bloody, recounts how the shame and ambition of actor Junius Brutus Booth's two illegitimate actor sons, Edwin and John Wilkes Booth, spurred them to strive, as rivals, for achievement and acclaim — Edwin, a Unionist, and John Wilkes, the assassin of Abraham Lincoln.

From Kean's time forward, many actors who have played the role — with the notable exception of Edwin Booth, who played him as a simple villain — have chosen a sympathetic approach to the character ; even Booth's father, Junius Brutus Booth, played the role sympathetically.

Booth played the role for a famous 100 consecutive performances at the Winter Garden Theatre in 1865 ( with the run ending just a few months before Booth's brother John Wilkes Booth assassinated Abraham Lincoln ), and would later revive the role at his own Booth's Theatre ( which was managed for a time by his brother Junius Brutus Booth, Jr .).

* June – Porcia Catonis, wife of Marcus Junius Brutus ( b. 70 BC ) ( alternative date is July )

* Junia Tertia, wife of Gaius Cassius Longinus and sister of Marcus Junius Brutus

Strabo's last wife was Cosconia Gallita, sister of Servius Cornelius Lentulus Maluginensis ( suffect consul in 10 ) and Publius Cornelius Lentulus Scipio ( suffect consul in 2 ), and perhaps half-sister of Quintus Junius Blaesus ( suffect consul in 10 ).

Amongst the conspirators were two brothers of Brutus ' wife Vitellia, and Brutus ' two sons, Titus Junius Brutus and Tiberius Junius Brutus.

By her, he had a son, Marcus Porcius Cato, and a daughter, Porcia, who would become the second wife of Marcus Junius Brutus.

Junius became mayor in 1608 and remained in that position until his arrest, which came shortly after his wife had been executed on similar charges.

His mother was Sempronia Tuditani, wife of Decimus Junius Brutus who was consul in 77 BC.

She is best known for being the second wife of Marcus Junius Brutus, the most famous of Julius Caesar's assassins, and for her suicide, reputedly by swallowing live coals.

* Porcia Catonis ( 70 BC-43 BC / 42 BC ), daughter of Marcus Porcius Cato Uticensis, and wife of Marcus Junius Brutus

She was the first wife of Marcus Junius Brutus, who was praetor of 44 BC and the most famous of Julius Caesar's assassins.

Sempronia was the wife of Decimus Junius Brutus, consul in 77 B. C.

No sons survived to adulthood, but he had at least two daughters Claudiae neither of whom are mentioned directly by name, but only in the context of their relationships by marriage: the younger to Pompey the younger ( born ca. 79 BC ), while the elder was the first wife of Marcus Junius Brutus ( born 85 ).
