He quite rightly thinks that Metullus is bowing and kneeling before him in order to flatter him and make him more receptive to Metullus's petition. That indeed would be Metullus's purpose if his intention was to persuade Caesar to revoke his brother Publius's banishment instead of killing Caesar. Caesar is quite rude about it, saying "These crouchings and these lowly courtesies might fire the blood of ordinary men and turn pre-ordinance and first decree into the law of children." Caesar implies that he is no ordinary man, that he is superhuman and far superior to such as Metullus, and so immune to flattery.
