 The Internet Classics Archive | Marcus Brutus by Plutarch
Marcus Brutus was descended from that Junius Brutus to whom the ancient Romans erected a statue of brass in the capitol among the images of their kings with a drawn sword in his hand, in remembrance of his courage and resolution in expelling the Tarquins and destroying the monarchy.
Brutus growing very faint, and there being none in the whole army that had anything for him to eat, his servants were forced to have recourse to the enemy, and, going as far as to the gates of the city, begged bread of the sentinels that were upon duty.
Brutus at first sent out a party of horse which, surprising them as they were eating, killed six hundred of them, and afterward, having taken all their small towns and villages round about, he set all his prisoners free without ransom, hoping to win the whole nation by good-will.

 Brutus
Marcus Junius Brutus was born in or about 85 BCE, as the eldest son of a Roman politician with the same name, a man who never made it to the top.
Brutus was now considered to be a friend of Caesar, who sent him on an important mission to the east, made him governor of Cisalpine Gaul (i.e., the Po plains) in the years 46-45, choose him as praetor for the year 44 and promised him the consulate in 41.
Brutus had shown that he had, to use a word of Cicero, 'the courage of a man and the brains of child'.

 Brutus on the Evils of Standing Armies by Laurence M. Vance
Recognizing his friend Brutus among his assassins, Julius Caesar (in the words of William Shakespeare) uttered the immortal phrase "Et tu, Brute?" This Latin sentence meaning "Even you, Brutus?" is the only Brutus that most Americans have ever heard of.
Brutus was the name signed to sixteen essays written in opposition to the new Constitution replacing the Articles of Confederation.
Brutus believed that not only would a clause like this "afford sufficient latitude to the legislature to raise troops in all cases that were really necessary," it would at the same time provide "competent security against the establishment of that dangerous engine of despotism a standing army."

 The Internet Classics Archive | The Comparison of Dion and Brutus by Plutarch
Neither did he, as Brutus, collect money and forces from the war itself, but, on the contrary, laid out of his own substance, and employed the very means of his private sustenance in exile for the liberty of his country.
Besides this, Brutus and Cassius, when they fled from Rome, could not live safe or quiet, being condemned to death and pursued, and were thus of necessity forced to take arms and hazard their lives in their own defence, to save themselves, rather than their country.
This was unmixed and sincere in Brutus; for he had no private quarrel with Caesar, but went into the risk singly for the liberty of his country.
