    Today in history: Ides of March

    Today in history: Ides of March

    Julius Caesar's rule was officially cut short on this day, 44 B.C.

    The Ides of March (/aɪdz/; Latin: Idus Martiae, Late Latin: Idus Martii)[1] was a day in the Roman calendar that corresponds to 15 March. It was marked by several religious observances and was notable for the Romans as a deadline for settling debts.[2] In 44 BC, it became notorious as the date of the assassination of Julius Caesar which made the Ides of March a turning point in Roman history.

    Beware the Ides of March. I'd forgotten that was today. Thanks!

    If only Julius Ceaser had the awareness of President Trump.
    How many can we list that qualify as Brutus in Trump's circles?
