What does Brutus say about Caesar's spirit at Philippi?
Julius Caesar did not fight at the Battle of Philippi (42 BC). He died two years earlier (44 BC). It was his assassination which led to this battle in which Octavian and Mark Antony defeated Brutus and Crassus. Brutus could not have said anything about the fighting spirit of Marc Antony and Octavian because he committed suicide when he saw that surrender and capture were inevitable. In Shakespeare's play, Brutus was spoken to by the ghost of Caesar. Brutus says that he would have liked to talk to Caesar more but the ghost vanished. He acts afraid and says that Caesar is still mighty and great.

"And say you do it by our permission" 4. that Antony will speak in the same pulpit where Brutus is going to speak "and you shall speak in the same pulpit whereto I am going" If Antony does not agree, then he "shall not have any hand at all about his [Caesar's] funeral" Hope that helps
Whom does mark Antony proclaim the noblest roman?
On the one hand Brutus might be considered as ignoble; early in the play he shows what might be considered as lacking ruthlessness. "I am not gamesome I do lack some part of that quick spirit." That word "gamesome" suggest that he is not a risk-taker that he is not frivolous. The word "quick sprit" implies that he lacks that ability to think on his feet unlike Antony. "Vexed I am of late with passions of some difference." This illustrates that fact that at this point in the play we see the result of Cassius's manipulation. Cassius is injecting conflicting thoughts into Brutus's head. Unlike Antony Brutus is shown to be affected by other people interference; "Into what dangers would you lead me, Cassius, That you would have me seek into myself For that which is not in me" These words evidence his dilemma because he droughts his own capacity for murder. Some might say that Brutus is not noble because of the fact that he kills Caesar. Caesar was a close confidante and plotted against him and killed him. "For Brutus was Caesar angle" the use of the word angle implies that Brutus was elevated to the highest level of esteem. What Antony uses the techniques of bathos to win over the crowd and audience. "This was the most unkindest cut of all" by using the word "unkindest" he magnifies the horror of Brutus's deed wounding him(if you'll pardon the pun) more than just saying that he mindlessly killed Caesar. On the other hand Brutus may be seen, from the point of view of certain people, as very noble. Although he has killed Caesar there are many counter points to argue against his ignobility of his actions. Brutus truly loves Rome and feels that what he is doing is for the greater good of Rome. In killing Caesar, even if it wasn't the right thing to do, Brutus still sincerely believes that what he is doing will be for the better good of Rome he says himself "Brutus would rather be a villager than the repute himself as a son of Rome" this quotation illustrates Brutus's extreme patriotism. Brutus is skeptical when Cassius first suggests the murder of Caesar "into what dangers would you lead me Cassius…?". After this Brutus deprived of sleep because he is so troubled by what Cassius has said. His wife Portia has noticed this and says "Is Brutus sick?". The fact the Brutus is losing sleep shows that he is intensely worried about the prospect of killing Caesar. There is seriously convict in his head. he wants to do what is right for the good of Rome but Caesar is his friend. Brutus said in the play, "I know no personal cause to spurn at him , But for the general." Brutus has nothing against Caesar, but he fears that Caesar my become a tyrant. He has to have good reason to betray his friend, and he decided that Caesar was becoming too ambitious. Brutus was motivated to make the decision he did by his love for Rome, and this is a very noble decision. He was very patriotic to his country and did what he thought was best for all Romans.
