Noble is used to describe the characters of Antony, Brutus, Caesar, plus all of the conspirators who attacked and killed Caesar. It seems that most every man in Rome is noble or honorable despite his short-comings. At the end of the play, Antony refers to Brutus as “…the noblest Roman of them all.” In my opinion the distinction of being the “noblest” belongs to…

Prior to this institution, vertical social mobility was rare and was typically confined to marriage or acts of extreme heroism.
