The Ides of March (March 15) became infamous due to the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BCE. The Roman leader was betrayed by a group of senators—including his friend Brutus—leading to one of the most famous moments in history.
The phrase “Beware the Ides of March” originates from Shakespeare’s play “Julius Caesar”, cementing its place in popular culture.
Though once just a normal date on the Roman calendar, the Ides of March is now a symbol of betrayal, political upheaval, and dramatic twists of fate.
