If the context of this question is the play Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, then the answer is no, since Lucius was just a young servant of Brutus, with no say or power in the conspiracy against Caesar. The real conspirators are people like Brutus and Cassius.

Andrew,
Actually, I like Julius Caesar. Even though he was a tyrant, he should be judged by his whole record of accomplishments, and he did many good things that improved the lives of average Romans. But I certainly deplore the ruthlessness he showed at times, especially some of the massacres in Gaul that he boasted about in his own book.

I agree with you absolutely. Truly Julius Caesar was a great man with many remarkable accomplishments; but still a man, and, hence, flawed. I was merely making a silly little joke reference the line "Et tu Brutus?" .... lol

Heck. I graduated high school in 1980 and can still recite Marc Antony's speech to the Roman Republic upon the death of Caesar which I memorized in the 8th grade. Some things stick with you.
