Well proposal is finished, things that I left out or didn't cover in much detail:
Caesar was given a document hours before the assassination that would have saved his life as it told of the plot and who was involved, he was told to read it instantly but Brutus (believed to have been one of the leaders of the assassination) told him not to bother with it and lead him to the Forum and his doom.
When Caesar was killed, the historians I have read so far all differ slightly on the details of the event, Plutarch says he fought back, until he was surrounded, Suetonius is adamant that he did not say a word, his only sound was a slight groan.
I plan to background check the historians I use as sources, http://www.bookrags.com/biography/plutarch/ is some background information on Plutarch however I have no idea if any of this accurate yet.
A brief biography of Suetonius can be found here http://www.ourcivilisation.com/smartboard/shop/suetnius/about.htm
These are few of the things I could not put in my proposal. There are more which I will be putting in a blog soon.
