What happened to the conspirators of Julius Caesar's death?

Following the assassination of Julius Caesar, the more important leaders were able to avoid being captured and imprisoned. However, some of the 60 murderers of Caesar were captured and imprisoned. Cassius, Brutus and a few others wanted to gain the respect of the people on Rome based on what they had done.

However, they made the mistake of explaining first and these people were fickle. Mark Antony spoke next and convinced the people of the murderers wrong-doing. Therefore, the conspirators fled Rome. They ended up battling each other due to the power that they wanted to have and gain Rome. Most of them ended up killing themselves because they knew that they would be in trouble if they were captured or went back to Rome.

The conspirators were unable to restore the Roman Republic, and the ramifications of the assassination led to the liberator's civil war and ultimately to the Principiated period of the Roman Empire. People rioted as a result of Caesar’s death.

In the following years, a series of civil wars resulted with the end of the republic and the rise of imperial Rome. Caesar’s death perpetuated the end of the Roman Republic in 43 BC. The final civil war resulted in the defeat of Actium. Octavian became the first Roman emperor, under the name of Augustus.
