They claim that he is ambitious and had to be stopped (by death).
Explanation:
After Caesar's death, Marcus Junius Brutus delivers a speech to the plebeians about the reasons for Caesar's death. He says that he killed Caesar because Caesar was ambitious and would have enslaved the Romans.
Brutus uses the Romans' fear of kings (the Etruscan kings that once ruled over them were tyrants) to make them believe that Caesar was rightfully killed.
