We know that Julius Caesar was liked by the people early in the play when Flavius and Marullus chastise the common people for celebrating and for putting decorations on Caesar's statue. They ask, "Knew you not Pompey?" reminding the people that they had formerly loved Pompey, conquered by Caesar before the play begins. Marullus and Flavius tell the plebians to remove the decorations from Caesar's statues.
