March 15 is known as the Ides of March.
In the Roman calendar, the ides was the 15th of March, May, July and October. The Ides of March has become infamously linked with the assassination of Julius Caesar, who was killed on this day in 44 B.C.
The phrase famously appears in William Shakespeare’s play “Julius Caesar,” in while a fortune teller tells Caesar to “beware the ides of March.”
