IN 44 BC Julius Caesar was killed in front of hundreds of witnesses near the Senate in Rome. A group of Roman senators led by Brutus and Cassius violently plunged their blades into him, resulting in 23 stab wounds.

Roman physician Antistius performed an autopsy and found that of the 23 wounds, none were fatal except the second wound in the breast.
