"Et tu, Brute?" (Template:IPA-la), meaning "Even you, Brutus?" (or 'You too, Brutus?', literally translates to "And you, Brutus?") is a Latin phrase often used poetically to represent the last words of Roman dictator Julius Caesar to his friend Marcus Brutus at the moment of his assassination. However, there is no evidence that Caesar actually spoke these words, and the fame of the quotation is purely due to Shakespeare's using them in his play Julius Caesar.
