Ingsoc Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 As well as the other Liberatores, their motives were presumably mixed; some bona fide idealistic nationalism (after all, CJ Caesar was the subjugator of the Roman Republic) with a good doses of personal ambition. I don't think that you could separate the two, the Nobilitas concept of Libertas (Freedom) was that they should be freed from servitude to another man and that all should (meaning the aristocracy) get a chance to serve at the hight offices - that concept is which Caesar deeply offended and it's why he was murdered.
