SELECTED

Julius Caesar

primary

A middle-aged Roman statesman with a lean but muscular build, standing at an average height for the time. His face is sharp with high cheekbones, a strong jawline, and piercing dark eyes that command attention. His hair is thinning and combed forward in the traditional Roman style, with a receding hairline. His skin is tanned from years of military campaigns.

Marcus Brutus

primary

A lean, aristocratic Roman senator in his early 40s with sharp patrician features, deep-set thoughtful eyes, and short-cropped dark hair beginning to gray at the temples. His posture carries the erect bearing of a military man, though his hands betray slight tremors.

Gaius Cassius Longinus

secondary

A lean, wiry man in his early 40s with sharp, angular features and piercing dark eyes. His short-cropped black hair is beginning to show streaks of gray, and his clean-shaven face bears the weathered lines of a seasoned military commander. His posture is tense, with the coiled energy of a man ready to strike.

Senator A

secondary

A middle-aged Roman senator with a lean build and sharp features. His dark hair is streaked with gray, combed back in the traditional Roman style. His eyes dart nervously, and his hands twitch slightly at his sides.

Senator B

background

A middle-aged Roman senator with a lean, aristocratic build. His face is clean-shaven in the Roman fashion, with sharp features and deep-set eyes that now widen in shock. His dark hair is neatly trimmed, with streaks of gray at the temples, suggesting his status and experience.

Guard

background

A young Roman soldier in his late twenties, with a muscular build typical of trained legionaries. His face is clean-shaven in the Roman military fashion, with short-cropped dark hair. His eyes are wide with uncertainty, and his jaw is slightly clenched.

Dialog

Julius Caesar The Ides of March have come, but not yet gone, my friends. What business remains that requires such earnest faces?

Marcus Brutus The business of Rome, Imperator. A matter that weighs heavily upon all good men who love her more than life.

Julius Caesar Then speak plainly, Brutus. You of all men know I value direct counsel from those I trust.

Marcus Brutus When honor demands action, even friendship must yield to duty. Thus do we strike—not against Caesar the man, but against the tyrant Rome cannot abide!

Julius Caesar Et tu, Brute? Then fall, Caesar!
