With Brutus joining the conspirators, who are plotting against Caesar, they are now even more powerful and can influence the people more easily. While all the conspirators stab Caesar in the back, Brutus is the only one to stab Caesar face to face. Mark Antony, Ocatavius ​​and Lepidus take command of the triumvirate. Brutus and Cuis Cassuis led their troops against Antony and his troops. This will be the place where Brutus' death and tragic flaw will take place. While at camp Brutus and Cassius get into an argument which leads Cassuis to say that he will kill himself. After that, everything settled, Brutus goes to bed.
