It’s also worth emphasizing that Gaius Julius Caesar and Marcus Antonius were the two Roman proconsuls coming into the date of the assassination, jointly charged with chief executive responsibility over the Republic of Rome, that the Republic’s accounts fell largely if not entirely within the responsibility of Marcus Antonius, and the Marcus Antonius himself was not and had not been deposed from his role as proconsul as a consequence of the assassination. In any event, this would mean that the scene drawn by William Shakespeare likely never happened, certainly not as he portrayed with Marcus Antonius speaking after Marcus Junius Brutus had delivered his own eulogy. upon being prevented – whether or not actually, as opposed to for propaganda purposes – from meeting up with Caesar while the latter was walking to the Roman Senate with his entourage, and that he did not return to Rome again until the next day, when it seemed sufficiently clear to him that he was not also a target of the assassination plot, and that it was safe for him return to Rome to use his role as then sole proconsul to seize sole control over the Republic’s treasury The ‘best’ historical reports on what happened at that time was that Marcus Antonius immediately left Rome on 15 March 44 B.C. My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,Īnd I must pause till it come back to me.Įxcellent speech one could give at that time.”Īnd waiting a thousand and six hundred and forty-two years before actually inventing it was a pretty excellent feature of it as well. O judgement! thou art fled to brutish beasts,Īnd men have lost their reason…. What cause withholds you then to mourn for him? You all did love him once, not without cause: I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke, Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition? When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept:Īmbition should be made of sterner stuff: Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill: He hath brought many captives home to Rome, He was my friend, faithful and just to me: Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest, So let it be with Caesar … The noble Brutus The good is oft interred with their bones, I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him I always chuckle when I hear British Members of Parliament talking about their Honourable Friends”.įriends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears I particularly love the way in which he is able to turn the word honourable around to in fact mean dishonourable. This was perhaps my first experience of a the power of a good speech – the ability of a speaker to convince an audience of their point of view. The “Friends Romans Countrymen” speech is a great example of a good speech.įrom the start the first three words fit into the rule of three a technique not fully identified for a few hundred years.
