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.
