उत्तर १
Nature foretold Caesar’s death by showing some bad omens such as thunder and lightning at the backdrop, while Caesar’s wife cried out in her sleep thrice saying, “Help ho! They murder Caesar!” The missing heart of the animal used for the sacrifice by the priests was a second omen.
उत्तर २
Nature foretold Caesar’s death by showing some bad omens. There was thunder and lightning at the backdrop while Caesar’s wife cried out in her sleep thrice saying “Help ho! They murder Caesar!” She had seen blood pouring from Caesar's statue and many Romans bathing their hands in it. There were also many other fearful dreams. Another bad omen was that when the priests searched the entrails of an animal for sacrifice as asked by Caesar, they found the heart missing.
