"La mort de César: Tragédie" by Voltaire is a tragedy written in 1731 and first publicly performed in 1743. The play dramatizes Julius Caesar's rise to power in Rome and his relationship with Brutus, who unknowingly plots against his own father.

The work unfolds without female characters, focusing entirely on political loyalty, patriotism,
and moral conflict in ancient Rome. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
