Metellus believes that Cicero's standing, knowledge,and social image will lend respectability to the crime, making it seem reasonable to others. Cicero was an elderly and respected statesman in Rome (although Casca complained about his speaking in Greek). Cassius suggests that the conspirators ought to get Cicero on board, and Metullus agrees, saying that "his silver hairs will purchase us a good opinion and buy men's voices to commend our deeds. It shall be said, his judgment ruled our hands, our youths and wildness shall no whit appear, but all be buried in his gravity." In other words, he would lend credibility to the conspiracy. Brutus, however, nixes the idea, saying that Cicero would "never follow anything that other men begin"
He wouldn't follow someone else's idea's. -Synthetic.
They left Cicero out because of his age.
Brutus however disagrees, arguing that Cicero "will never follow anything" (Line 150). Cassius agrees to leave Cicero out of their conspiracy... The Cicero issue settled, some very important decisions are made.
The conspirators want Cicero to join the conspiracy becasue it will be more convincing once he lures Caesar to see the Senate the day he's assinated.
It's supposed to be Octavian not Octavius. Antony and Octavian killed the assassins of Julius Caesar, as well as dozens of others who had nothing to do with the conspiracy, including Cicero.
Cicero.
Brutus does. He says that Cicero will never go with a project he himself did not start.
He wouldn't follow someone else's idea's. -Synthetic.
They left Cicero out because of his age.
No because he's black
Brutus doesn't think that Cicero should be part of the conspiracy because Cicero could not stand to be a part of anything unless he had started it himself. Yeah, I've met people like that too.
Cicero is the senator whom Brutus refuses to ask to join the conspiracy.

It was Lucius Sergius Catilina who led the Second Catilinarian conspiracy.
Brutus thinks that Cicero would not be happy in any movement he did not actually start himself. Basically, he thinks that Cicero has too much of a swollen ego for their purposes.
Brutus doesn't want him in the conspiracy; he says Cicero will never follow anything he doesn't start. It doesn't help Cicero; he dies anyway.
The conspirators want Cicero to join the conspiracy becasue it will be more convincing once he lures Caesar to see the Senate the day he's assinated.
