, Your councils be long, your doings be slow, consider the end.
Yes, indeed, we must fly, but not with our feet, but with our hands..
Farewell, good Strato. - Caesar now be still: I kill'd not thee with half so good a will.

Marcus Junius Brutus was a Roman politician and orator who early on opposed Pompey, the man responsible for his father's death, while staying close to Caesar. When Caesar's behaviour grew autocratic after the civil war of 49-45 BC, Brutus joined the conspiracy and took a leading role in the assassination on 15 March 44 BC. The Senate granted the assassins amnesty, but popular unrest drove Brutus and his brother-in-law Cassius out of Rome by April. Octavian, Caesar's adopted son, seized the consulship, retroactively declared the conspirators murderers, and launched a second civil war. In October 42 BC the Caesarians crushed Brutus and Cassius at Philippi. Brutus took his own life after the defeat. Dante placed him in the lowest circle of Hell alongside Judas; others have called him a republican who fought tyranny and lost.
