| | Marcus Junius Brutus, 85-42 BC |
 | | The conspirators were paranoid that their large conspiracy (eventually over 40 men) had been discovered: Brutus is alleged to have calmly stated he would commit suicide if the plot failed. | | | A more inarguable political criticism of Brutus is that, to him and the other conspirators, the murder of Caesar was apparently the be-all and end-all of their efforts. | | | Whatever arguments the jealous Cassius used to persuade Brutus to join the conspiracy against Caesar, his position was unenviable. |

| | Marcus Junius Brutus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Brutus began to conspire against Caesar with his friend and brother-in-law Cassius and other men, calling themselves the Liberatores ("Liberators"). | | | The phrase Sic semper tyrannis ("Thus always to tyrants") is attributed to Brutus at the assassination. | | | He had every reason to hate Pompey, who had had his father murdered in 77 BC, during the proscriptions by Sulla. |

| | Brutus then claimed he would be forced to "defend my country and to die for its liberty." With Brutus involved, the conspiracy planning began in earnest. | | | Word was brought to Brutus that Porcia, in an agony of suspense, had collapsed and appeared to be dead; even this did not shake him from his purpose, and he remained where he was, awaiting Caesar. | | | Cassius had gathered a conglomerate of senators willing to assassinate Caesar but all agreed that the conspiracy could not succeed without the idealistic glamour that Brutus' participation would bring to it; he was the essential man to give the enterprise political legitimacy. |

| | And there Brutus, expecting to be besieged, dismissed the most eminent of those that had accompanied them thither, not thinking it just that they who were not partakers of the fact should share in the danger. | | | [38] Brutus had already reduced most of the places and people of these parts; but they now marched on as far as to the coast opposite Thasos, and, if there were any city or man of power that yet stood out, brought them all to subjection. | | | Cassius laughed; but Brutus thrust him our, calling him impudent dog and counterfeit Cynic; but yet for the present they let it put an end to their dispute, and parted. |

| | To think, without the support of Brutus, the assassination may not have even been attemtped and Caesar may had just a bit more time to stabilize his fledgling form of government. | | | Silly to hate historical figures though, can't change anything they did, and can't really "know" whether those that we look up to were all we think they were. |

| | Although her arguments are anything but convincing, Brutus eventually agrees to attempt to thwart the conspiracy. | | | Although both have a strong sense of patriotism to Roma, Friesner's Brutus is more willing to use assassination for his political ends than the historical Brutus, who opposed assassination in all cases save Caesar's. | | | Although Friesner's intentions become clear rather quickly at this point, she manages to tell this part of the story in an interesting way, as Brutus has, by now, begun to question the use of assassination and murder. |
