> Under D&D rules, a dagger does 1d4 base damage. The average human has a Strength score of 10, adding no bonuses. Several of them, due to the military background of many, likely had strength or dexterity scores of 11-14. But only two or three, and quite a few would be frail with old age, sinking to 8-9 strength. All in all, we can only add a total of +1 damage per round from Brutus.
> An estimate of sixty men were involved in Caesar’s actual murder. Not the wider conspiracy, but the stabbing.
> Julius Caesar was a general, which is generally depicted as a 10th level fighter. Considering his above baseline constitution and dex, weakened by his probable history of malaria, epilepsy, and/or strokes (-1 dex modifier), and lack of armor at the time of the event, he would likely have something along the lines of AC 9 and 60 HP. The senators would likely hit him roughly 55% the time.
> So the Roman senate had a damage-per-round of 66, more than enough to kill Caesar in one round even without factoring in surprise round advantage.

Julius Caesar was not a tenth level fighter. No real life person has ever been as mighty as even a fifth level PC class in any version of D&D.

Incorrect. Roman senators are medium sized creatures, as is a cezar too, so only eight of them could have attacked him at the same time. This would have dropped their damage output to 11 hp per round on average. The senate took six rounds to kill Caesar.

Sufficient humanoids equally armed is often easiest converted into a swarm, or troop, doing automatic damage every round and the usual save vs disabling, and some added combat maneuvers or ranged attacks based on setup.
As the victim was likely a mix of warrior, aristocrat and maybe some fighter or other such let's assume average hit dice of d8, putting him closer to 40 or 50 hp.
Still 4 to 5 rounds of shank town, which is roughly 30 seconds
