In Brutus's speech, he starts in by addressing the crowd as "Romans, countrymen, and lovers," here he is demonstrating that he is in fact one of them and that he values their role in Roman society. This helps establish his credibility, and as Brutus continues by arguing that he killed Caesar to protect the citizens.
