Mark Anthony was speaking at Ceasar's funeral (Ceasar was already dead) and he was Ceasars friend so he was instigating the mob against Brutus, Cassius and the Senate who had just had Ceasar killed. Mark Anthony use several Rhetorical devices as he wasn't allowed to directly insight a riot - one of his chief devices was understatement and sarcasm. ...but Brutus said he was ambisious and Brustus is an honorable man.

Well, in a way Caesar was. That is to say, he wanted the power of the king, but not the name or trappings. Hence the charade at the Lupercal where Antony "thrice presented him a kingly crown". Caesar and Antony wanted to persuade the crowd that Caesar did not want to be king, because they knew that kings as such were unpopular because in the history of Rome they had had some pretty awful ones, who had been overthrown by the republic. Instead Caesar wanted to be dictator for life, which the crowd would have found to be totally different.
