Because they where sick Romans, no other reason why then that.
In William Shakespeare's famous play, 'Julius Caesar,' it is indeed vitally important to Brutus that each and every one of the conspirators 'bathe' his hands in the spilled blood of Caesar. In so doing, each conspirator will acknowledge responsibility for the killing, thereby legitimizing it still further and perhaps lending greater strength to the 'liberation' movement which the killing was intended to begin.
Brutus tells them to bathe their hands in Caesar's blood, then walk to the marketplace with their bloodied swords to proclaim peace, freedom, and liberty.
The Conspirators washed their hands in Caesars blood because they thought they would be remembered for it. Also in the Bible when there was a death of an innocent man, Jesus, Pontius Pilate washed his hands in water- to show his innocence. These men were showing anything but innocence, they wanted everyone to know that they killed Caesar because they though people would love them for it. Do you also remember when Brutus was conversing with the other conspirators about not being butchers but sacrificers? And do you think sacrificers would wash their hands in his blood? No. These men became bloodthirsty butchers. 1.

In 'The Tragedy of Julius Caesar,' Brutus suggests the conspirators bathe their hands in Caesar's blood before going to the market place. They are then to carry their bloodied swords to the market, and proclaim peace, freedom, and liberty.

Antony does several things to the conspirators. After they kill Caesar he shakes their blood-soaked hands as if joining them. Then he turns against them by reading Caesars will to Rome and showing Rome his stab wounds, therefor creating pity amongst Rome's citizens. Then he and the conspirators go to war and makes Cassius and Brutus commit scuicide.

He refused to touch the conspirators' bloody hands
Brutus,Casca, Trebonius, Cassius, and later Antony bathe their hands in the blood of Julius Caeser. Antony does this later by acknowledging those responsible "Let each man render me his bloody hand" and in doing so implies that he is now in league with them since in shaking each hand he has put blood on his own.In doing so they take equal resposibility for cleansing Rome of its overly ambitious leader.The blood covering the conspirators' hands is a bad omen forcasting their own downfall and destruction.
Hands! Without hands, you can walk on your own, but that's pretty much it... Without feet, you can still roll your wheelchair, feed yourself, and bathe yourself! Imagine someone having to bathe you because you couldn't do it yourself! Also, feet smell weird.
