* TheOnlyBeliever: The main interpretation of the play, as well as the opinion of Anthony in universe, is that Brutus is this. The conspiracy to kill Caesar, despite the fact that it's supposedly about stopping Caesar from overthrowing the Republic and turning into a dictator, mostly consists of power hungry nobles opposing Caesar because they want that power for themselves. Brutus, on the other hand is genuinely distressed at the thought of Caesar being crowned. Mark Anthony's line eulogizing Brutus is the page quote.

** There was discussion on whether to include Cicero, the famous orator, in the conspiracy. He was trusted by both Cassius and Brutus and had made it no secret that he considered Caesar's rule oppressive. He also had great popularity among the common people and a large network of friends, which would help attract others to join their cause. However, the conspirators considered Cicero too cautious, and ultimately decided not to include him.

* WithFriendsLikeThese: Brutus and Cassius are supposedly best friends, but in a lot of scenes, it's hard to see this. Almost, but not quite, VitriolicBestBuds. Cassius sure does get ''snippy'' once in awhile. And he used less than honest means of winning Brutus to the conspiracy.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: After Caesar's assassination, the rest of the conspirators basically vanish. However, it can be inferred that they were most likely hunted down and killed after Antony and Octavius seize power and initiate a series of purges all across Roman society. This in fact did happen in real life:
** Following the assassination, Trebonius immediately left for Roman province of Asia (modern-day Turkey). While there, he raised money and troops for Brutus and Cassius. He also helped Cassius on his way to Syria later in the year. However, the Caesarian general Dolabella captured Trebonius, and in January 43 BC, put him on trial for treason before proceeding to torture and then behead him.

** It is highly likely that both Cinna and Ligarius were executed during the proscriptions against the supporters of Brutus and Cassius in Italy no earlier than late 43 BC.
** Both Casca and Cimber, like Brutus and Cassius, perished during the Philippi campaign in October 42 BC.

** After initially fleeing Rome fearing reprisal, Mark Antony soon came to a quick accommodation with Caesar's assassins. However, on March 20, the day of Caesar's funeral, Antony, as Caesar's faithful lieutenant and incumbent consul, was chosen to preside over the ceremony and to recite a eulogy. As in the play, he gave a demagogic speech, enumerating the deeds of Caesar and, publicly reading his will (made public the previous day), detailing the donations Caesar had left to the Roman people. Antony then seized the blood-stained toga from Caesar's body and presented it to the crowd. Worked into a fury by the bloody spectacle, the assembly turned into a riot. Several buildings in the Forum and some houses of the conspirators were burned to the ground. Also, as shown in the play, the poet Cinna was killed due to mistaken identity with the conspirator Cinna.
