No, he was not. Nor was he acting for the Republic.

If a man truly believes that he must kill for an ideal, than he does so. On the other hand, if he is cowardly and simply wishing to follow the crowd, then one might see him wait till others have done the killing, then step in at the end so as to not be left out.

History has recorded that Brutus only stabbed when the deed was already done, and Caesar lay bleeding and helpless. This is why his name - like the name of Judas - is known, but not used.

Why do people think brutus is a patorit?

Only the people who agreed with Brutus thought he was a patriot. The majority of the population supported Caesar and did not think Brutus' action was patriotic. People who thought this saw Brutus as the saviour of the Republic, its liberties and its traditions. Caesar was assassinated because he gave rise to suspicions that he wanted to become a king. This would not only meant the end of the Republic, but also the beginning of Tyranny. Since the Roman Republic had been established with the overthrow of the last king of Rome, who was a tyrant, the Romans associated monarchy with tyranny. The establishment of the Republic was seen as the victory of liberty over tyranny.
