mark Antony
When Caesar ordered the Senate to declare him dictator for life. But this is not quite true. Caesar never ordered the senate to declare him dictator for life, the senate did it on its own. Although this honor contributed to the people's fears that he would become a king, the actual event that triggered the immediate action of the conspirators was the offering of a crown to Caesar at the Lupercalia festival. Even though Caesar refused the crown, it was widely believed that he was not sincere.
Caesar was warned not to, however, to not go would appear to be a sign of weakness.
The Senate was afraid that Julius Caesar wanted to rule over Rome and take over the government. So, they wanted Caesar back in Rome so as to monitor him and make sure he would not take over Rome.
It convinced the senators that Caesar was a big threat to the senate. The senate ordered him to disband his armies after the end of the Gallic Wars in which Caesar conquered Gaul. These troops were very good, battle-hardened veterans who were very loyal to Caesar. His victories also gave him prestige and popularity with the people in Rome. The senate was afraid that Caesar would use his armies and popularity to seize power. Caesar refused to obey the order and marched on Rome with his soldiers from northern Italy. He started the civil war.

Julius Caesar was murdered because certain members of the Roman Senate were sure that Caesar wanted all the powers and prestige of a king. It has been written that most of the senate would have granted him this. The title of "king" would place Caesar at the level of Rome's first king. King Romulus. This power and honor was denied Caesar by a relatively small group of senators that murdered him.
their respect or honor
Caesar sent different men to the senate to replace himself or represent his interests at different times. For example, the first triumvirate, which consisted of Caesar, Pompey and Crassus. Crassus and Pompey were in Rome looking after Caesar's (and their own) interests. When Caesar became dictator and was away from the city, he, as dictator would appoint a Master of the Horse, who was the official who acted in place of a dictator in the city of Rome. Mark Antony and Lepidus were two of them.

In the Baths, in bedrooms, at dinner parties, frequently erroneously called orgies, at the Games, and formally in the Senate. As the Repbulic aged, and the govermental corruption, as in decay, became more manifest, the Senate became increasingly less important, until it became little more than an eating club for relatives.
