Et Tu, Brute? (Caesar's Last Words)

Featured

Julius Caesar's supposed dying words are legendary, largely popularized by Shakespeare. However, historical accuracy paints a less certain picture.

What People Remember

Many believe Julius Caesar's dying words were famously and definitively 'Et tu, Brute?' (meaning 'And you, Brutus?').

What's Actually True

While popularized by Shakespeare, historians debate Caesar's actual last words, with some accounts suggesting he said nothing, or a different Greek phrase. There is no definitive historical evidence for 'Et tu, Brute?'.
