After making peace with the conspirators and getting their permission, Antony spoke directly to the Roman mob. He pretended that he had not come to praise Caesar and speak against Brutus and the others. However, he just did the opposite. He started narrating the conquests, glories and trophies that Caesar brought to Rome. He brought many captives, received ransoms and tributes. He wept for the poor and for their cause. In his will he left his private gardens and parks for their use. They were his heirs. Caesar was not all ambitious as he turned down the crown offered to him thrice. He conclusively proved that Brutus and other conspirators were liars and murderers. He succeeded in arousing the mob’s sympathy for Caesar and directing their anger against the conspirators.
