Marcus Aurelius was considered one of the 'Five Good Emperors' of Rome. For the most part, he had the respect of the people, except for Christians, who continued to be persecuted under his rule as they had been before he became emperor.
The majority of the people of Rome were outraged by the assassination of Julius Caesar. Caesar was very popular among the middle classes of Rome. He was seen as a hero of the people and the poor who fought against a corrupt aristocracy because he was a popularis, which was a political faction which championed the cause of the poor and wanted to introduce reforms in their favour. The populares (plural of popularis) were opposed by the optimates, a conservative political faction which favoured the aristocracy and opposed the reforms.
Marc Antony, who at the time was the most important supporter of Caesar, named and shamed the assassins and gave a rousing speech during Caesar's funeral. The crowd set about trying to find the assassins, who had already fled Rome. They refrained from setting their houses alight by the neighbours who would have been affected by the fires.
