thought he was arrogant

The main reason is that Brutus believed he was ambitious. Antony does through in some good points how he wasn't ambitious. Caesar was apparently [from Brutus's point of view] power hungry and would make Rome corrupt.
In the Suetonius where we get the story from I don't believe it says specifically, but I think it implies that it was fairly near the time of his speech that ended in his murder (as in a few days before).
Claudius
Most importantly, in Suetonius's description, Antony speaks "but briefly" and Brutus did not speak at all. Antony did arrange (he was consul and it was his job) to have a song sung with the words "Saved I these men that they might murder me?", and had the heralds read out the oath the Senators had taken (under duress) to protect Caesar's life. Caesar was cremated shortly thereafter according to Suetonius.

Julis Caesar's turning point came when he crossed the Rubicon.
There is no historical figure known as Governor Suetonius. However, Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus was a Roman historian and biographer known for his work "The Twelve Caesars," which provides valuable information on the lives of Julius Caesar and his successors as Roman emperors.
In the Suetonius where we get the story from I don't believe it says specifically, but I think it implies that it was fairly near the time of his speech that ended in his murder (as in a few days before).
Julius Caesar's last words are not known with certainty and have been the subject of debates. According to the ancient Roman historian Suetonius, Caesar did not say anything. Suetonius mentioned that others claimed that he said "You too, child?" However, he did not say this in Latin. He said it in Greek: "καὶ σύ, τέκνον." Elite Roman men were educated in both Latin and Greek, were fluent in Greek and often spoke in Greek. In his play, William Shakespeare had Caesar say : "Et tu, Brutus." However, this is not what Caesar was said to have said.
