Alternate Ending for Julius Caesar

In Julius Caesar, the end was very thought out and made the audience thinking what if? What if the ending was different? What would happen then? In the play, Brutus tells one of his men to hold the knife, while he runs into it, therefore killing himself. While Cassius also kills himself by telling one of his men to stab him. So they both end up killing themselves. Although this ending was quite shocking and overall very good, I believe it could have been somewhat better. If i could change the ending, it would be a little like this. I know they were both going into battle, and I believe the scene was very good, so I would keep the battle scene. But I would have both Cassius and Brutus somehow meet eachother during the battle. When they see one another, they start conversing, and then get in this huge argument about Caesars death. Brutus would then say how he regrets killing Caesar, and how he should have never taken his side. Then when the situation starts really heating up, Brutus takes out his knife ready to kill Cassius when Cassius realizes Brutus is going to kill him, so he also takes out his knife. They end up both stabbing eachother at the same time. Then they are both dead, and Antony is in full power.
