Julius Caesar ination facts?

Right here goes; 1) On the day of his ination his wife, Calpurnia, pleaded with him not to go to the Senate as she had dreamt a terrible dream the night before that something terrible would happen to him. Brutus, considered his most loyal friend persuaded him to ignore his wife and go to the Senate. 2) The first blow was struck by Servilius Casca who stabbed Caesars left shoulder above his collar bone. 3) He fell dead at the statue of his defeated enemy Pompey 4) He was stabbed at least 35 times. 5) According to a physician only one wound, a stab wound to the chest had been fatal. 6) The words Et Tu Brute were not Caesar`s last words, that phrase was an invention of Shakespeare's. Roman historians at the time all stated Caesar said nothing, instead when he saw Brutus was involved he pulled his toga over his head and fell to the ground. 7) Although it is known around 60 men were involved in the ination only a few names have been identified. 8) Caesar was inated on the 15th March 44BC, (the Ides of March). Hope these help, i know there are more than 5 but i got a bit carried away.
