    “Julius Caesar Greatest Weakness”
    Caesar, was a bit too confident in his own charm and influence.

    This guy managed to climb to the top of the Roman power ladder, securing the title of dictator for life, which, rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.

    But Caesar, in his infinite optimism, thought he could handle all the haters.
    He believed his political savvy and public support made him somewhat untouchable. Well, it didn’t.

    One story that highlights this is his relationship with Brutus.
    Now, Brutus wasn’t just some random guy; he was believed to be Caesar’s illegitimate son by some (though this is debated).

    Caesar trusted him deeply, and despite multiple warnings that Brutus was getting cozy with the conspirators, Caesar waved it off.

    He couldn’t fathom that Brutus would turn against him. Famously, he even dismissed his bodyguard on the Ides of March, showing a level of confidence (or was it arrogance?) that would soon prove fatal.

    When the knives came out, literally, in the Senate, Caesar’s shock was immortalized by his final words, “Et tu, Brute?”—“Even you, Brutus?”

    This moment was the ultimate demonstration of his underestimation of how deep the resentment against him ran.

    this trust in his untouchability led him to make some risky political maneuvers. He pardoned many of his enemies, thinking they’d be loyal to him after being spared.
