Not in real life. Remember Shakespeare was a playwright, a dramatic writer. Although he wrote on historical subjects, he was providing entertainment. He fictionalized and embellished historical data. However in real life Marc Antony did give Caesar's funeral oration and it started a riot. (Besides, "friends, Romans, countrymen" was no way for a Roman orator to begin a speech)
When he was given a chance to address the romans.It was after Julius Ceaser was killed and his enemies were convinced that Mark Antony was on their side.On the contrary he made a speech boosting the deeds of Ceaser and was able to bring,friends,nobles and countrymen to understand that Ceaser was wronged.
In Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar, the murder of Caesar takes place in Act III Scene i. Act III Scene ii is the scene containing Caesar's funeral and Antony's famous speech, "Friends, Romans, Countrymen"

This is because Mark Antony remains successful in completely turning the minds of the Romans,who supported the conspirators, against them and raging to seek revenge against Brutus and the others.

Mark Antony uses a subtle and eloquent tone in his speech. This is in contrast to the rational tone of Brutus's speech.
"Friends! Romans! Countrymen! Lend me your ears!"
The opening "Romans, countrymen, and lovers, lend me your ears" is from Mark Antony's speech in William Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar." In this scene, Antony addresses the citizens of Rome after Caesar's assassination to turn the crowd against the conspirators.
The crowd reacts to Antony's famous "Friends, Romans, Countrymen" speech by causing a riot and making the conspirators run for their lives. This was exactly what Antony intended. This was the meaning of "Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war"
In The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, a play by Shakespeare, this is (mostly) the beginning of an often quoted speech by Mark Antony. The speech begins:"Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him."
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears The first line of a famous and often-quoted speech by Mark Antony in the play Julius Caesar
Marc Antony made a spurious tribute to Julius Caesar after his assassination. His speech began, Friends, Romans, Countrymen. I come not to bury Caesar, but to praise him.
The most obvious example of an oratorical piece of William Shakespeare's is the "Friends, Romans, and Countrymen..." speech in the play, "Julius Caesar." In this speech, Marc Antony is addressing a crowd of people.
In Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar, the murder of Caesar takes place in Act III Scene i. Act III Scene ii is the scene containing Caesar's funeral and Antony's famous speech, "Friends, Romans, Countrymen"
Marc Antony, a Caesar loyalist, turned the crowd against the conspirators at Caesar's funeral by delivering his famous "Friends, Roman, countrymen" speech.
In Shakespeare's play Julius Cesar, Mark Antony is giving a public eulogy after Cesar is murdered. So the I guess the issue would be Cesar's death and perhaps an attempt to stir up the citizens against his murderers to avenge his death.
One of the most famous examples is Marc Antony's speech in the Shakespeare play Julius Ceasar: "Friends, Romans, countrymen - lend me your ears"; he is not literally asking for the loan of people's ears, but rather that they give him their attention and listen as he goes on to "bury Caesar, not to praise him". Another is the reference to 'the Crown' when referring to the king or queen of England.
