His leading role in the murder of Julius Caesar on the Ides of March, 44 BC, immortalized his name, but no final verdict has ever been made about his fateful act. Was Brutus wrong to kill his friend and benefactor or was he right to place his duty to country ahead of personal obligations?

As the details are revealedfrom his own correspondence with Cicero, the perceptions of his peers, and the Roman aristocratic values and concepts that held sway in his timeBrutus emerges from legend, revealed as the complex man he was.
