From the opening words of this speech-"It must be by his death"-the verb "must" indicates that Brutus has already determined the course of action that he must follow: Caesar must die to preserve the welfare of the republic. The rest of the opening statement is an attestation of the nobility of Brutus's character; he is not motivated by petty, personal jealousies as Cassius is, but by genuine concern for the good, the honour and welfare of Rome.

What was Julius Caesar in hieroglyphics?
The closest we can come is a stela with the name of Caesar's son by Cleopatra VII, Cesarion. The cartouche has six glyphs in it: The right-angle triangle or hill which represents the palatal k or q; two reeds, which represent a sort of long e; the door bolt, which looks like a pair of glasses or a brassiere and sounds like z; a couchant lion, which normally sounds like "L" but here must be an "R"; and the folded cloth or hook which is s. This adds up to "Qeezles" or "Qeezres" which is sort of like Caesar. I don't know if the name "Julius" was ever written, and I cannot find an image of it. If I were to guess, I'd guess that a rearing cobra, a chick, the couchant lion and the folded cloth would figure in it.
See the related link for Cesarion's cartouche.

How are the woman portrayed in Julius Caesar?
n Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, both Calpurnia and Portia are loving wives. Both adore their husbands. Both women beg their husbands on bended knee to honor their wishes. Calpurnia begs Caesar to stay at home. She is troubled by her dream. She has dreamed that Caesar's statute is spurting blood. She fears for his life. She is very sensitive and caring. She does everything in her power to keep him home:
When Calphurnia gets on her knee to Caesar, she temporarily succeeds in persuading him to remain at home. She offers to let Caesar use her anxiety as an excuse for not going to the Capitol.
Portia begs Brutus to share his heart. She desires to know what is troubling him. She asks him to confide in her. She is worried about him. She too is very sensitive to the issues that trouble Brutus:
Portia, Brutus's wife, displays her concern for her husband and asks that he share with her his burdens. She wishes to know the source of his abrupt mood changes and why Cassius and the others have visited him, claiming that sharing such confidences with her husband is the "right and virtue'' (II.i.269) of a wife.
Calpurnia has more influence with Caesar because he initially gives in to her pleading for him to stay home for the day. At first, he decides to stay at home for her sake. Of course, Decius flatters him and changes his mind.
Brutus will not share his heart with Portia. She pleads but to no avail. Of course, Brutus is worried that Portia will be in danger if he shares what he and the conspirators are about to do. No doubt, Brutus truly loves Portia. Likewise, Caesar adores his wife Calpurnia.
Calpurnia seems to be a stronger woman than Portia. Portia kills herself after she realizes her husband is fleeing for his very life. Calpurnia endures Caesar's death. Shakespeare does not indicate that she even thinks about taking her own life.
Truly, Calpurnia and Portia are very much alike but also different. Both women love their husbands immensely. Both women plead with their husbands. Both women are in fear for their husbands' lives.
In the end, Calpurnia proves to be stronger than Portia. Portia cannot live with the stress that Brutus has caused her. She takes her own life.
No, it's more like he is deciding out loud whether to kill Caesar or not.
Was Julius and Augustus Caesar handsome?
Roman writings and statuary give the best clues. Julius was tall for a Roman, and handsome in a regal sort of way, although he was balding. Augustus was short, even for a Roman, and more of a pretty boy. Think of Julius as the Sean Connery type, and Augustus as the Tom Cruise type, and you'll have a fairly good idea. And remember that handsome is as handsome does.
