It's a lie made by Shakespeare. Don't use Shakespeare as an historian, he wasn't. The fact of the matter is that Octavius and Antony had Brutus's head cut off after Brutus commited suicide. The ship that the head was in, however, sank on its way back to Rome, so Octavius and Antony never got their prize.

~False flattery was the best way to deflect suspicion while Antony plotted with Gaius and Ptolemy to assassinate Brutus and install Cleopatra as Empress of Rome. Had Agrippina not discovered the plot and warned Justantine of the plot, Brutus would have been slain on the senate floor instead of Ceasar.

Because Brutus is an honorable man.
Of course, he used that to damn him in the
"Friends, Romans, Countrymen" speech.
During that speech, he turned Brutus's
traitors acts against him by the not-so-subtle
use of irony, by saying that he was an
honorable man.
It is one of the great "turn-the-crowd-around"
speeches of all time.

He didn't; Shakespeare did. But the rationale the Bard had is that his motive for murdering Caesar was pure--seeking only to restore the Republic and free it from what he perceived to be a tyrant's rule instead of trying to replace Caesar.

Because Brutus placed his loyalty and his dedication to his country and its people before his loyalty and dedication to his friend, Julius Caesar, who, it was feared, aspired to take the crown and dissolve the Republic.
