Julius Caesar, the man, died in 44 B.C. Shakespeare wrote the play about him about A.D. 1600 -- over 1600 years after Caesar's assassination.
Julius Caesar had frailties just as all rulers have frailties ( much as they hate to admit them). Although very smart and capable Caesar was undone by not keeping his ego and ambition in control.

Then check a bio of the ruler of England in the time of Shakespeare, Charles 1 .http://www.british-civil-wars.co.uk/biog/charles1.htm
Might Shakespeare have been making a comparison?
