Posted by March 15 is a day of famous assassination according to “Beware the Ides of March!” from the Soothsayer in “Julius Caesar.”, a famous Shakespeare’s classical drama. The Soothsayer associates March 15 with a bad feeling, and warns the title character as well as the real life historical figure to watch his back.
The “Ides of March” which fall on the fifteenth day of the month is Ides. Based from common belief, it depends on a complex system of calculation when Caesar set the Julian calendar as the forerunner of our own.
As per compiled report, many people hold on to this belief. In fact, the Ides of March is celebrated every year by the Rome Hash House Harriers with a toga run in the streets of Rome, in the same place where Julius Caesar was killed. The Atlanta Chapter of the Dagorhir Battle Games Association hosts an annual spring event at Red Horse Stables on the weekend closest to the 15th of March.
The event is appropriately named “The Ides of March”. Another proof of giving importance to that date is that, the Temple Hill Association in New Windsor, NY holds an annual dinner in honor of the Ides of March because it is also the day that General George Washington quelled a mutiny of his Officers in 1783.
Ides doesn’t only being commemorated on March. There is ides for January that falls on the thirteenth, the ides March, May, July and October is fifteenth.
