Calpurnia does not want Caesar to go to the capital because of the strange occurrences in the street and her dreams, which she interprets as omens.

Calpurnia, Caesar's wife, is deeply disturbed by the unusual events happening around her, which she perceives as bad omens. These include a lioness giving birth in the streets, graves opening and the dead rising, warriors fighting among the clouds, and blood raining down upon the Capitol. These strange occurrences are seen by Calpurnia as signs of danger towards Caesar.

Moreover, Calpurnia has had nightmares in which she sees a statue of Caesar spouting blood from a hundred holes, and Romans coming to bathe their hands in it. She interprets this dream as a prophecy of Caesar's death.

Therefore, out of fear for her husband's safety, Calpurnia urges Caesar not to go to the Capitol. Despite her pleas, Caesar initially dismisses her fears. However, he eventually agrees to stay home, not because he believes in the omens, but because he wants to ease Calpurnia's worries. Unfortunately, Decius, one of the conspirators, later reinterprets Calpurnia's dream in a positive light, convincing Caesar to go to the Capitol after all.
