What was the speech of Marcus Brutus?
Julius Caesar Act III Scene 2
Romans, countrymen, and lovers! hear me for my
cause, and be silent, that you may hear: believe me
for mine honour, and have respect to mine honour, that
you may believe: censure me in your wisdom, and
awake your senses, that you may the better judge.
If there be any in this assembly, any dear friend of
Caesar's, to him I say, that Brutus' love to Caesar
was no less than his. If then that friend demand
why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer:-
Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved
Rome more. Had you rather Caesar were living and
die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live
all free men? As Caesar loved me, I weep for him;
as he was fortunate, I rejoice at it; as he was
valiant, I honour him: but, as he was ambitious, I
slew him. There is tears for his love; joy for his
fortune; honour for his valour; and death for his
ambition. Who is here so base that would be a
bondman? If any, speak; for him have I offended.
Who is here so rude that would not be a Roman? If
any, speak; for him have I offended. Who is here so
vile that will not love his country? If any, speak;
for him have I offended. I pause for a reply.

Why was becoming Christian considered an act of disloyalty in the Roman Empire?
The loyalty of the Christian population to Rome, rather than to their bishops, was coming increasingly under question. In spite of this, and in spite of Christian tradition emanating from the fourth and fifth centuries, Christianity enjoyed long periods of peace in the Roman Empire. This ended, or seemed to do so, with the Great Persecution of Christians that was initiated by Diocletian in 303 CE. This lasted until 305 in the West, although it continued until 311 in the East.
