 Julius Caesar Characters review at Absolute Shakespeare
The threat that Caesar was moving away from the ideals of the Roman republic towards an Empire ruled directly by himself is the chief reason so many senators, aristocrats and even Caesar's friend Brutus, conspired to kill him.
It is he who gathers those against Caesar around him and it is Cassius who carefully manipulates Brutus to their cause by appealing to Brutus' sense of civic duty which believes that Caesar as a King would be bad for the people of Rome and by Cassius' clever use of forged letters.
Later at Caesar's funeral, Cassius' advice that Mark Antony should not speak at the funeral is also ignored leading to Antony turning the masses against the previously popular conspirators.

 Western Political Movers and Shakers of Classical Times (1500 BC - 450 AD) By Miles Hodges   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Thus the term Caesar now referred not to the Italian family that had once ruled the Roman principate--but was transformed during Vespasian's rule into a political title or office.
His rule was further undergirded by strengthening the move started under Augustus to recommend to the Romans (especially those with Eastern roots where emperor-worship had a natural history) special reverence for the imperial caesar--to view the princeps as a ruler with special sacred authority within the empire.
In 293 he chose Galerius as his successor as Caesar and Maximinian chose Constantius as his successor--freeing themselves to their work as supreme princips or Augusti.
