It was intended to show that the people (represented by Antony) would have made Caesar king but that Caesar refused that title (which was repugnant to Romans, being associated with tyrant kings like Tarquinus Superbus). In reality Caesar had the powers of a dictator which were just as extensive as those of a king.
This was a carefully staged PR vehicle designed to allow Caesar to hold kinglike power while making the mob think he was refusing kingship. It compares to the equally orchestrated scene in Richard III where Richard is "persuaded" to assume the kingship.

However, Casca reports, it appeared to Casca that Caesar really wanted to take the crown. Caesar then offered the people his throat to cut (which was a very odd thing for him to do. Apparently, it was his way of saying, "Here I am to serve the people of Rome; I will give my very life for you, if you want.") Then, Caesar fell down in the market place, apparently suffering from an epiletic seizure. And all the women felt very sorry for him.
