Did Julius Caesar love his sister?

Brutus' conflict over love is a theme throughout the play. Many characters throughout the play seem to contest for his love. Upset by Brutus' distracted manner as he ponders his role in the conspiracy, Portia cries out "Dwell I but in the suburbs of your good pleasure? If it be no mor Portia is Brutus' harlot, not his wife." Near the end of the play, Cassius, who seems to truly love Brutus, cries out "When thou didst hate him [Caesar] worst, thou lovedst him better than ever thou lovedst Cassius." And finally, Brutus remarks "Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more." So, possible choices include Caesar, Portia, Cassius, and Rome (or its people.) He is willing to Kill Caesar for the good of Rome, He leaves Portia in Rome where she commits suicide out of loneliness and despair, and He drives Cassius to ask Brutus to kill him because he feels he is "hated by one he loves." Perhaps, then, Brutus loves the people of Rome, since he appears to be willing to betray everyone else close to him for the republican cause. The problem with this, however, is that the people loved Caesar. What is Rome if not its people? Who was he killing Caesar for? The possibility that I personally feel is the most likely is that the only thing that he truly loves is his own honor. Near the beginning of the play, he utters the famous words "I love the name of honor more than I fear death," and from this point on he never once seems willing to forsake his nobility for love or any other pragmatic reality. The better question, then, seems to be "what" not "who" did brutus love.
