Learned about this time in history, by a teacher back in 6th grade.

There is a corollary between Brutus and Judas.

Have your opinions, and discuss.

Lesser known, but what did Julius Caeser say to his friend when he found a rip in his toga?

"Etui Brute?"

What happened to Brutus after killing Caesar?

The killing of Caesar led to a second civil war, in which Mark Antony and Octavian fought the liberatores led by Brutus and Cassius.

The Caesarians decisively defeated the outnumbered armies of Brutus and Cassius at the two battles at Philippi in October 42.

After the defeat, Brutus took his own life.

Shakespeare may have gotten that line from Ovid:

Upon waking Ariadne discovers her abandonment by Theseus

Heroides X line 5

in quō mē somnusque meus male prōdidit et tū,

on which (beach) both my sleep and you maliciously betrayed me,
