The Romans closed the city gates and Tarquinius could not get back in the city.

Why was Caesar killed ?
It was thought by many in the Senate that Julius Caesar was becoming too powerful, and that he had dreams of kingship and ultimate power.

The group of senators who stabbed Caesar were led by Brutus and Cassius. Brutus was descended from the Brutus who was one of the first consuls of Rome and played a large part in driving out the Tarquins, the last kings of Rome. So understandably he was a staubch Republican, and as Caesar made himself 'dictator for life' this would be seen to be wanting to be made king, which couldn't be tolerated. So Caesar was killed in the name of the Republic and liberty.
