VII. DER BERICHT DES APPIAN (ca. 100 u.Z. - ?)

The conspirators had left Trebonius, one of their number, to engage Antony in conversation at the door. The others, with concealed daggers, stood around Caesar like friends as he sat in his chair.
Then one of them, Tillius Cimber, came up in front of him and petitioned him for the recall of his brother, who had been banished. When Caesar answered that the matter must be deferred, Cimber seized hold of his purple robe as though still urging his petition, and pulled it away so as to expose his neck, exclaiming, “Friends, what are you waiting for?”
Then first Casca, who was standing over Caesar’s head, drove his dagger at his throat, but swerved and wounded him in the breast. Caesar snatched his toga from Cimber, seized Casca’s hand, sprang from his chair, turned around, and hurled Casca with great violence.
While he was in this position another one stabled him with a dagger in the side, which was stretched tense by his strained position. Cassius wounded him in the face, Brutus smote him in the thigh, and Bucolanius in the back.
With rage and outcries Caesar turned now upon one and now upon another like a wild animal, but, after receiving the wound from Brutus [Lücke im Text] he at last despaired and, veiling himself with his robe, composed himself for death and fell at the foot of Pompey’s statue.
They continued their attack after he had fallen until he had received twenty-three wounds. Several of them while thrusting with their swords wounded each other.

[Appian: Bürgerkriege II 117]
