Abstract
This study examines three instances of Caesar’s public behaviour in January-March 44, the last ten weeks of his life: the assumption of a new and unprecedented dictator title; his appearance at the Lupercalia to certify to all that he was not interested in becoming king; and the extraordinary innovation of personal coin portraiture. The thesis is that in each case he was preparing politically for the Parthian Expedition, scheduled to begin on the 19 March. And each demonstrates his inventiveness and energy in facing unusual problems.
