Was it Brutus?

Not Brutus, Brutus was a republican and wanted the senate to rule.
Mark Anthony wanted the imperial throne but couldn't claim it, Octavius was the Julian heir but didn't become Augustus until later. The Praetorian guards later would appoint Caesars in that vein as they did when putting the imperial position up for sale and after the death of Caligula and Nero although they said it in Latin. Not said in Shakespeare.

Not in Anthony's speach
ANTONY
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones;
So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus
Hath told you Caesar was ambitious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Caesar answer'd it.
Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest--
For Brutus is an honourable man;
So are they all, all honourable men--
Come I to speak in Caesar's funeral.
He was my friend, faithful and just to me:
But Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man.
He hath brought many captives home to Rome
Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:
Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?
When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept:
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man.
You all did see that on the Lupercal
I thrice presented him a kingly crown,
Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And, sure, he is an honourable man.
I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke,
But here I am to speak what I do know.
You all did love him once, not without cause:
What cause withholds you then, to mourn for him?
O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reason. Bear with me;
My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,
And I must pause till it come back to me.

nor in his dogs of war speach

It wasn't Brutus. It was Antony. Brutus was the one who killed Caesar.

It become first utilized in France: 'le roi est mort, vivre le roi'. Sorry, i be attentive to next to no French so i'm going to are transforming into that incorrect. It refers back to the reality the previous monarch has died, however the monarchy is persevering with and a clean monarch would be crowned. In British regulation, the subsequent in line to the throne will become Sovereign the on the spot the reigning monarch dies, so for this reason it refers to a right away continuation. If the continuation is a distinctive gender, mutually with while King George VI died, then the final gender is substituted in - so if so it would be "The King is lifeless, long stay the Queen".

I have read thoughly on his period and I do not think anyone said this this fact what is traditionally said on death of french king "the king is dead long live the king" i.e the next king I think you have misremembered a speech in julius ceasar a play shakesphere in his julius ceasar which was written 1500 years after the event.

The only possible ceasar who could have been refered to was ocavitian later augustus who in greece at the time ceasar death and not thought a serious player he was only 18

Marcus Antonius. It was the same from the same speech which he started with the famous words:

"Friends, Romans, Countrymen,
lend me your ears,
I came not to praise Caesar
but to bury him..."

It was this speech with supposedly turned the Roman public against the Caesar's assassins.
