Fact and Fiction

How do we use historical context in plays written about real people?  More specifically, this is something I find interesting to consider from Julius Caesar.    Regardless of what happened in Shakespeare's play, and what other things happened in history, we know that Marcus Antonius did go after Caesar's killers.

I want to leave you all with one question; how does the Friends Romans Countrymen speech fit into historical and fictional context?
