Lucillius is a soldier in Brutus' army who greatly admires Brutus. During battle, he is captured by Octavius' and Antony's soldiers when Brutus' side loses. Lucillius offers money to them to kill him, claiming that he is Brutus so that they will stop looking for him (Brutus). However, this does not work as Antony comes and sees that he is not Brutus. Antony says Lucillius is a friend and welcomes him into his own army.

What is the meaning of brutus's speech?
His own life!! see below :D (source-reading packet at school :P) Brutus sits with his few remaining men. He asks them to hold his sword so that he may run against it and kill himself. The Ghost of Caesar has appeared to him on the battlefield, he says, and he believes that the time has come for him to die. His men urge him to flee; he demurs, telling them to begin the retreat, and that he will catch up later. He then asks one of his men to stay behind and hold the sword so that he may yet die honorably. Impaling himself on the sword, Brutus declares that in killing himself he acts on motives twice as pure as those with which he killed Caesar, and that Caesar should consider himself avenged: "Caesar, now be still. / I killed not thee with half so good a will" (V.v.50--51). Antony enters with Octavius, Messala, Lucillius, and the rest of their army. Finding Brutus's body, Lucillius says that he is glad that his master was not captured alive. Octavius decides to take Brutus's men into his own service. Antony speaks over the body, stating that Brutus was the noblest Roman of all: while the other conspirators acted out of envy of Caesar's power, Brutus acted for what he believed was the common good. Brutus was a worthy citizen, a rare example of a real man. Octavius adds that they should bury him in the most honorable way and orders the body to be taken to his tent. The men depart to celebrate their victory. \ Hope it helped :D
