assassin of Julius Caesar
Marcus Junius Brutus was a Roman senator and military commander who participated in the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BCE, one of history's most famous political murders. His involvement matters because it demonstrates the deep political conflicts of late Republican Rome and remains a symbol of betrayal—particularly because Caesar had trusted him as a friend and ally.

Marcus Junius Brutus (/ˈbruːtəs/; Latin: [ˈmaːrkʊs juːniʊs ˈbruːtʊs]; c. 85 BC – 23 October 42 BC) was a Roman politician, orator, and the most famous of the assassins of Julius Caesar. After being adopted by a relative, he used the name Quintus Servilius Caepio Brutus, which was retained as his legal name. He is often referred to simply as Brutus.
Early in his political career, Brutus opposed Pompey, who was responsible for Brutus' father's death. He also was close to Caesar. However, Caesar's attempts to evade accountability in the law courts put him at greater odds with his opponents in the Roman elite and the senate. Brutus eventually came to oppose Caesar and sided with Pompey against Caesar's forces during the ensuing civil war (49–45 BC). Pompey was defeated at the Battle of Pharsalus in 48, after which Brutus surrendered to Caesar, who granted him amnesty.
