Yes, but it wasn’t Caesar’s assassins who primarily shaped the history of the western world.
We are in much worse shape. Caesar was very competent and self-disciplined. Those who first took over Caesar’s mantle were also at least self-disciplined, astute, competent, responsible, and in their own way still deferential to the traditions of the state. The Roman Empire didn’t start with a Caligula, Nero or Commodus.
