Ides of March falls on Friday, March 15
The ides (from the Latin word īdūs meaning to divide) was the fifteenth day of March, May, July, and October,
and the thirteenth day of the other months. Ides simply referred to the first full moon of a given month.
Since the Roman calendar was based on lunar cycles. Reminds me of Guy Fawkes Day, or Jan 6 !
Julius Caesar, Act III, Scene II [Friends, Romans, countrymen] - “We come to bury Caesar, not to praise him!”
Beware the Ides of March! But why? The soothsayer tells Caesar to beware the Ides of March …
But Caesar doesn’t listen. Julius Caesar was assassinated on the Ides of March, or March 15, in the year 44 BCE.
In the ancient Roman calendar, the Ides of March were equivalent to our March 15.
The Romans considered the day a deadline for settling debts.
It's time to throw the rascals out!
