Brutus believed that killing Mark Antony would be unnecessary and potentially counterproductive to their cause. He argued that eliminating Antony could provoke further conflict and chaos, as Antony was not as dangerous as Julius Caesar, whom they had already assassinated. Brutus felt that allowing Antony to live would help maintain their moral high ground and avoid the appearance of tyranny. Ultimately, he prioritized the broader goal of restoring the Republic over personal vendettas.
