Iulius qui Idibus Martiis interfectus est (6)

I believe the answer is:

caesar

(Other definitions for caesar that I've seen before include "See 13 Across" , "Emperor of ancient Rome, like Julius" , "leader who acts like a dictator" , "A scare for Roman emperor" , "extraction operation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
