The information Casca gives about Marullus and Flavius is that the tribunes were stripped of the positions as civil servants for removing decorations from Caesar's statutes. This is from Julius Caesar, Act 1, Scene i.
In Act 1 Scene1 of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar we see ordinary folks decorating statues in the street in honour of Caesar's victory in the civil war. Marullus and Flavius protest, telling them that they have no business celebrating a victory in a civil war, since a Roman lost the war as much as won it. Flavius then tells Marullus that they should "disrobe the images" if they find them "deck'd with ceremonies." Marullus then asks, "May we do so? You know it is the feast of Lupercal." Flavius retorts, "It is no matter; let no images be hung with Caesar's trophies." So off they go and do it.Was what they did illegal? Marullus seems worried that it is against the laws of the Lupercalia. But it was not. The Lupercalia had nothing to do with military victories. Nor was it a proper triumph, not being a victory against the enemies of Rome. But even if it was legal to do it, it was not a wise thing to do with a dictator (both in name and action) like Caesar around. Casca reports in the next scene, "Marullus and Flavius, for pulling scarfs off Caesar's images, are put to silence."
In Act I Scene I of Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar, a group of commoners are celebrating the victory of Caesar over Pompey's sons in the Battle of Munda.

The tribunes Flavius and Marullus chide the commoners for celebrating the defeat of a Roman, and a great Roman at that. "Knew you not Pompey?"

In Act I Scene i of "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar," Flavius and Marullus attempt to disrupt the festivities celebrating Caesar's triumph because they are concerned about the growing power and influence of Caesar, which they see as a threat to the Republic. They believe that the citizens should not celebrate a leader who has undermined the traditional republican values. By scolding the commoners for their fickleness and removing decorations from Caesar's statues, they aim to show their disapproval of the public's adoration for Caesar and to reassert the importance of the Republic over individual leaders.
An exchange follows in which the commoners joke and respond with considerable wit. Marullus is in no mood for their banter; both he and Flavius are jealous of Caesar's popularity and sympathetic to Pompey's causes. Marullus reminds the commoners that not too long ago they gathered in the streets to celebrate Pompey as their leader. He now orders them to return to their homes and repent of their disloyalty.
In Act 1, Scene 1 of Julius Caesar, the cobbler expresses a lighthearted and somewhat supportive attitude towards Caesar, viewing him as a source of pride for the common people. In contrast, Flavius and Marullus are critical of Caesar, seeing him as a threat to the Republic and fearing his potential rise to tyranny. Their disdain for the public's celebration of Caesar highlights their concern for the political implications of his power, while the cobbler's jovial demeanor reflects a more populist sentiment.

The play Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare contains two characters named Marcellus and Flavius that are co-conspirators against Julius Caesar. In Scene one, Act one, we see these two men complain about Caesar's rule. However, in Act one, Scene two, we discover they'd been "put to silence. " Though there were many ways to remove a dissenting voice such as theirs in the time of Julius, it is probable that in keeping with the history as we know it, Marcellus and Flavious were executed.
