The Ides of March


Perhaps you have heard the phrase, “Beware of the Ides of March.” The phrase comes from the Shakespearean play, Julius Caesar. In the play, the soothsayer gave the warning, which foretold of the assignation of the emperor. This occurred March 15, 44 B.C. The phrase meant the “middle” of the month, but has come to be known as March 15. So, beware!
