Julius, Calpurnia, Brutus, and Cassius
Alas, Julius Caesar is only a main character in one play, Julius Caesar. Mark Antony, on the other hand, is a main character in two plays, Julius Caesar and Antony and Cleopatra.
Shakespeare wrote a play called Julius Caesar. Julius Caesar is not one of the main characters, he appears only three times. The scene of his murder is very famous. And of course, Julius Caesar is not a fictional character. He was a real historical person. I think that the person who asked the question knew that Julius Caesar existed.
It depends on whose "story of Julius Caesar" we are talking about. In most such stories Caesar is the main character. However if we are talking about Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar (which is a play and not a story), Caesar is actually dead for most of the play, which suggests that he is not the main character. Some people have argued that the short appearance of his ghost just before the Battle of Philippi and Cassius's remarks about how he will die by the same sword as Caesar mean that Caesar's spirit is at work even after his death, until his murderers are dead. However, that is stretching a point. It is simpler to say that Brutus is the main character in the play, since the real focus is on him and on the kind of political idealism (or possibly naiveté) he demonstrates.
The play is titled "Julius Caesar" because it is about the final days of the Roman king, Julius Caesar.
