What reasons did Mark Antony give the Romans to show that Caesar was not ambitious and was wrongly killed ?

Answer»

When Mark Antony saw Caesar’s dead body he stood by it and said that a man who stood like a tower a little while ago was lying dead. Antony at that point of time did not go against Brutus because Brutus made it very clear to Antony that if he revealed the truth about Caesar’s death to the Roman public, he too would be killed. When Brutus asked him to speak to the public of Rome, he with his excellent oratory skills exposed the plot to kill Caesar. He told the public that Caesar always worked for the people. He had even refused the crown and had bequeathed his legacy to the people of Rome. He did all this in order to bring out the goodness of Caesar and also to let the people know that his killing by Brutus and Cassius was not for the common good but out of jealousy.
