If you understand that the word "rhetoric" means to use language effectively and persuasively, you will understand that both Brutus and Antony were trying to persuade the crowd.  In Brutus's case, he was trying to make the crowd understand that the death of Caesar was necessary for the general good of Rome (he would abuse his power).  Antony, on the other hand, was trying to make the crowd understand that Caesar was a great leader and the actions of the conspirators was unjustified.  Further, Antony's other objective was to have the crowd turn on Brutus.

I presume you are talking about Julius Caesar.\n\nBrutus began to conspire against Caesar with his friend and brother-in-law Cassius and other men, calling themselves the Liberatores ("Liberators"). Shortly before the assassination of Caesar, Brutus met with the conspirators and told them that, if anyone found out about the plan, they were going to turn their knives on themselves. On the Ides of March (March 15; see Roman calendar) of 44 BC, a group of senators called Caesar to the forum for the purpose of reading a petition, written by the senators, asking him to hand power back to the Senate. However, the petition was a fake. Mark Antony, learning of the plot, went to head Caesar off at the steps of the forum. However, the group of senators intercepted Caesar just as he was passing the Theatre of Pompey, and directed him to a room adjorning the east portico. As Caesar began to read the false petition, one of the senators, named Casca, pulled down Caesar's tunic and made a glancing thrust at the dictator's neck. Caesar turned around quickly and caught Casca by the arm, crying in Latin "Villain Casca, what do you do?" Casca, frightened, called to his fellow senators in Greek: "Help, brothers!" ("αδελφέ βοήθει!" in Greek, "athelfe voithis!"). Within moments, the entire group, including Brutus, was striking out at the great dictator. In a panic, Caesar attempted to get away, but, blinded by blood, he tripped and fell; the men eventually murdering him as he lay, defenseless, on the lower steps of the portico. According to Eutropius, around sixty or more men participated in the assassination.\n\n********************\nSome historians believe that Caesar knew of the plan and that he went along with it, almost as a way of committing suicide, because he was mentally ill.   I watched a programme on (I believe) Channel 4, hosted by Tony Robinson (I think).   It was fascinating!   Oh, and it is only because of Shakespear that we think he was assassinated on the steps of the Senate.

Shakespeare had a tremendous effect as he made up lots of words that were never used before.  Also in England his is the 2nd most quoted after the Bible so his phrases became parts of every day speech.  Try going to a Quotations site and find out how many quotes are there which you recognise.

Look it up.  I'm fairly sure that was the point of the question.\n\n*speech mode*\nWhen teachers give you assignments, they don't just want you to learn the facts, they also want you to learn how to GET the facts.

c. 79 BCE: Caesar, on the staff of a military legate, was awarded the civic crown (oak leaves) for saving the life of a citizen in battle.\n\nan oak tree of course\n\nhttp://www.vroma.org/~bmcmanus/caesar.html\n\n\nGreat games and celebrations were held on April 21 to honor Caesar’s great victory. Along with the games, Caesar was honored with the right to wear triumphal clothing, including a purple robe (reminiscent of the kings of Rome) and laurel crown, on all public occasions.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_Ceasar\n\nThe Bay Laurel (Laurus nobilis, Lauraceae), also known as True Laurel, Sweet Bay, Grecian Laurel, Laurel, or Bay Tree, is an evergreen tree or large shrub reaching 10–18 m tall, native to the Mediterranean region.\n\nBay Laurel is the source of the bay leaves which are used for their flavour in cooking. It was also the source of the laurel wreath of ancient Greece, and therefore the expression of "resting on one's laurels". A wreath of bay laurels was given as the prize at the Pythian Games. It is also the source of the word baccalaureate (laurel berry) and thus bachelor, and of poet laureate.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bay_laurel

PA: What were Caesar’s policies? \n\nMP: Caesar is described by all of these historians as driven by ambition and love for power. But he was born of a family that had a reformist genealogy. His father-in-law Cinna was a reformist. His uncle by marriage, the great Marius, was another reformer. When the conservative dictatorship took over in 80 BC, Sulla offered him a place in his government which would have catapulted him up to the top at a young age. Instead, he ran the risk of turning down Sulla, knowing that it meant the end of his patrimony. He lost his wife’s dowry. He almost lost his life. So he already had views that were not just for opportunism and power, he had views about which side he was going to be on in the great class divide. \n\nLater on when he did acquire power, he did things like land redistribution, rent cancellation – he cancelled all rents for low and middle income dwellings for a year. Rents were atrociously high. Families were doubled and tripled up in these big tenement houses in Rome. Debt easement: he must have cancelled about 25 percent of the debt. No interest payments were to be paid that exceeded the amount of the original debt; that excess amount was cancelled. He imposed luxury taxes on the rich. He passed requirements that one-third of the workforce on the plantations had to be free labor, rather than slave labor. In other words, he started limiting slave labor and increased the opportunities for free labor. He started work projects for jobs, what we would call "jobs programs" today. These things are what made the Senate aristocrats hate him. Not his ambition. Not his supposed arrogance. In fact, he wasn’t arrogant. He reached out to these senators. He tried to get them to come in on his side. And as for his ambition and power, they all understood and lived by ambition and power. It was their common currency. It was not Caesar’s power they disliked, it was the way he was using it.
