Did Calpurnia try to prevent Caesar from going to the Senate House? Did she succeed in her attempt?
Calpurnia saw a horrible dream in which she saw Caesar’s statue with a hundred spouts or openings—gushing out blood like fountain. The Romans were bathing their hands in Caesar’s blood.
She tried to prevent Caesar from going to the Capitol but didn’t succeed, Decius Brutus deliberately gave a flattering interpretation of the dream and said the dream was auspicious according to him.
Caesar’s blood would give new life, vigour and vitality to Rome. Romans would worship Caesar, Caesar’s ego and ambition were touched on hearing the interpretation of Brutus.
Decius told Caesar—Senate would present him the crown that day. This was the last blow and Caesar decided to go to the Senate making Calpurnia unsuccessful in her attempt to stop him from going there.
