From the way they talk, it sounds like they were Pompey fans.
Celebrating the victory of Julius Caesar over Pompey's sons.
Guilty. "Knew you not Pompey?" They should be ashamed of celebrating the defeat of a Roman hero like Pompey. Of course, Caesar's Gestapo took care of them.
Flavius tells Marullus to disperse the crowd of commoners who are celebrating Caesar's triumph. He believes that their gathering is inappropriate and that they should be reminded of their former allegiance to Pompey, whom Caesar has defeated. Flavius aims to diminish Caesar's popularity and curb the public's enthusiasm for him.
In this scene of Julius Caesar, Marullus, enraged by their celebration of Caesar's victory, is scolding the commoners for their fickleness. The rationale behind this scolding is simple: that not long before, these Romans had cheered on Pompey as he rode his chariot through their streets. Now they instead cheer for Caesar, who "comes in triumph over Pompey's blood." (I,i,51) In addition to simply scolding them, Marullus also implies that the commoners need to repent lest they be punished for this disloyalty to Pompey when he says "Pray to the gods to intermit the plague / That needs must light on this ingratitude."(I,i,54-55) It should that this scene also demonstrates a disturbance in the hierarchical order, which Marullus tries to restore by implying that the gods will send a plague if the commoners don't behave. Reading Shakespeare is a lot of fun. Hope you enjoy!

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.

The commoners, never wanting to miss a chance for a day off work and a party, are celebrating the defeat of the sons of Pompey by Caesar. The tribunes are angry because this is a civil war and those that died in it were Romans, and therefore no reason to celebrate.
