BEWARE THE IDES OF MARCH

On this day in the year 44 B.C., Julius Caesar was stabbed to death, but the assassination - while remembered - is not the reason that this day has such a prominent place in modern culture. Rather, March 15 (known in Ancient Rome as the Ides of March) is famous because as depicted in Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar, had Caesar listened to a known psychic, his murder could have been thwarted. Apparently, the psychic warned Caesar to "beware the Ides of March." Presumably relieved when he woke on the day in question however, Caesar saw the psychic and teased, "The Ides of March has come." The Seer seemingly agreed, noting "but it has not passed." Later that day, Caesar was killed.
