Question

what was cimber's request to caesar?

Answer 1

All the conspirators, including Brutus and Cassius, are only urging Caesar to grant clemency to Cimber's brother in order that they may crowd aroundCaesar and then attack him. Caesarkeeps refusing to reconsider. Suddenly they all attack him and he dies in the long, pivotal Act 3, Scene 1.

Answer 2

The only time the audience can be certain that Publius Cimber is being discussed in Act 3, Scene 1. Since this is the scene in which Caesar is assassinated, anyone mentioned is important. In fact, the conspirators use Publius Cimber's name to distract Caesar. Caesar had banished Publius Cimber for reasons the audience will never know. The men use the cover of asking for a pardon as an excuse to all gather around Caesar.
