The English translation of the Latin question 'Et tu' is the following: And you [also, or too]?. Perhaps its most famous use in history was the assassination of Gaius Julius Caesar [July 13, 100 B.C. - March 15, 44 B.C.], on the Ides of March. There is historical disagreement over the last words that Caesar may have heard and said. But a favorite version always has had Marcus Junius Brutus [85 B.C. - 42 B.C.] explain 'Sic semper tyrannis' ['Thus always to tyrants'], while stabbing his friend for setting up a Dictatorship. To which a favorite choice of response always has been Caesar's incredulous, 'Et tu, Brute?'
