Marc Antony begins his indictment of Julius Caesar assassins during the middle of the speech after praising Brutus the conspirator as an "honorable" and "noble man." He cites how Caesar "loved" the people, and Brutus particularly, who among the conspirators he then called "traitors." He closes indirectly asking "Rome," to "rise and mutiny," against the conspirators.
Brutus, Casca, Cinna, Cassius, Decius, Metellus, Trebonius, Popilius, and Publius.
Brutus is the better leader because he gets persuaded into the assassination by Cassius and he is the only person among the conspirators that believes that once Caesar is killed it will benefit Rome. Everyone else is killing Caesar out of blood-lust, envy, or rivalry.

Decimus Junius Brutus Albinus (born 85?-81? BC, died 42 BC) was a Roman politician and general of the 1st century BC and one of the leading instigators of Julius Caesar's assassination. Decimus Brutus is not to be confused with the more famous Brutus among the conspirators, Marcus Brutus.

The conspirators want Brutus in their conspiracy because his involvement would lend the plot credibility and legitimacy. Brutus is seen as honorable and respected among Romans, which would help sway public opinion in favor of their cause. Additionally, Brutus's lineage and reputation could bring in more supporters to their cause.

AnswerAt least six persons participated to the assassination of Gaius Julius Caesar and among them there were Marcus Junius Brutus "καί σύ τέκνον", Servilus Casca, Tillius Cimber and others. Caesar was stabbed 23 times. In the chaos that followed five civil wars were faught and the conspirators were either killed in the field of battle or executed and the end was the establishment of the Empire. First Emperor was Augustus One of the conspirators who killed Caesar was named Sextus Quinctilius Varus. Sextux killed himself after the battle of Philippi in 42 BC. His son, Publius served the Emperor Augustus, but he led three legions of Roman soldiers to the slaughter in the Battle of Teutoburg Forest in 9 AD. He also killed himself, in particular by falling upon his own sword.
Marcus Brutus
Brutus was among a group of Roman senators that believed Julius Caesar had too much power. Brutus felt that any hope of returning Rome back into some form of a republic would be lost if Caesar was allowed to continue on the path he was following. Brutus believed that Julius Caesar wanted to become the king of the Roman empire. Brutus became a secret enemy of Caesar. He certainly had fear of his own life as Caesar had dictatorial powers and could use them against any internal Roman foe. Based on this Brutus conspired to assassinate Julius Caesar. The deed was accomplished in the Senate chambers and Brutus was among those who stabbed Caesar to death, thus the tragedy of Caesar and the lament of Caesar's friends.
The conspirators did not overthrow Julius Casar. They murdered him. They had quite a lot of supporters among the aristocracy. However, they faced the backlash from the people of Rome who loved Caesar. They saw him as the defender and hero of the people and the poor.
