It was William Shakespear who introduced the world to the term “beware the ides of March,” a phrase uttered to Julius Caesar by a fortune teller the Shakespear’s play, “
Beware the Ides of March.”
March 15 is the day that Julius Caesar, (the much loved by the public) dictator of Rome, was stabbed to death by upward of sixty conspirators who really, really didn t like how arrogant Caesar was and decided to do something about it during a meeting of the Senate. The desire to snuff out the man they found to be overwhelmingly arrogant backfired though because it caused an uproar with the people of Rome who were disgusted with the actions of the assains and all sorts of chaos erupted following Caesar s death. The death of Caesar also led way to the end of the Roman Republic and the start of the Roman Empire.
