Who was a Roman senator who feared Caesar's growing power and gathered others into conspiract?

• A. Calpurnia
• B. Artemidorus
• C. Cassius
• D. Antony

Answer: (C)

Cassius is the Roman senator who fears Caesar’s growing power and takes the lead in forming the plot. He resents Caesar’s rise and sabotages the idea of Caesar becoming king, presenting it as a danger to the Republic. To bring others on board, he appeals to Brutus’s sense of duty to Rome and even uses forged letters to stir Brutus’s concern, effectively recruiting him and then coordinating a circle of conspirators. Calpurnia and Artemidorus aren’t involved in plotting against Caesar; Calpurnia warns Caesar at home, and Artemidorus tries to warn him with a letter. Antony, meanwhile, is Caesar’s ally and opponent to the conspirators after Caesar is killed, not the organizer of the conspiracy. So the one who fits the description is Cassius.
