A tribune is punished along with Marellus for removing the decorations from Caesar's statues during Caesar's triumphal parade. Who is this tribune?

• A. Murellus
• B. Flavius
• C. Casca
• D. Antony

Answer: (B)

The situation tests your recall of the street scene in Julius Caesar where two tribunes confront the crowd during Caesar’s triumph. The tribune who is punished alongside Marellus for removing the decorations from Caesar’s statues is Flavius. In that moment, Flavius and Marellus oppose the crowd’s adulation of Caesar, and their actions against Caesar’s statues show their disapproval of his rising power. The other names listed aren’t involved in that specific scene: Casca is a conspirator later, and Antony is Caesar’s ally. So Flavius is the correct companion to Marellus in that event.
