To whom? Caesar's so-called last words perhaps are significant to students studying Shakespeare, but that's about all. The reason for this is that we don't know what his last words actually were. Even the ancient writers admit that they don't know for certain and the killers were certainly not about to tell what they were as it would be a sign of their guilt if they said anything.

What did Caesar mean by his final words to Brutus?

Historically, it is said that Julius Caesar made no sound while his peers murdered him except for a grunt at the first stab. He died silently, and with betrayed dignity. However, in Shakespeare's play, it is said that Julius Caesar says, "Et tu, Brute?" ("And you, Brutus?") right before he falls to the ground dead. Brutus was someone Julius Caesar considered a friend, and this quote channels the emotion that he must have felt in his last moments. However, this is merely Shakespeare's interpretation.
