Marcellus and Flavius were tribunes at or near the time of the assassination of Julius Caesar. tribunes were kind of like the leaders that were above the senate, sort of like the executive branch.

Rome at the time was an oligarchy run by leading members of a small number of powerful families Marcellus and Flavius were members of these families that were in competition with the Julians, basically.
