Caesar had changed the number of the Senate from 300 to 900, making them less productive, in an attempt to gain more power. Brutus and the "liberators" (the Senators whose jobs were at stake) decided to take things into their own hands in order to save the Republic. However, they misjudged how much the people loved Caesar (he was giving jobs and land to the plebeians middle class), so the liberators were exiled. (less)

In this story many things happen, but I will be talking mostly about its ending. Brutus keeps his bravely in the end of his life. Unlike his slave, Cassius who had stabbed him, but Brutus calmly accepts his death because since he had killed his beloved friend Caesar, he knew he had to die. The reason for this is because Caesar showed his ghost on the battlefield and Brutus accepted his fate. ?
