This ancient new year's festival symbolized the idea of "out with the old, in with the new" in a particularly scapegoat kind of fashion. The observance involved dressing an old man in animal skins, beating him and possibly driving him from the city to symbolize the old year's death. Some sources indicate that March 15 was also known as a day for settling old debts, sort of like April 15 is known for being the day when our taxes are due.
This famous line comes from William Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar. In the play, a mysterious soothsayer tells Caesar to "beware the Ides of March" as a warning about his impending assassination, which did indeed take place on March 15 — in real life.
But is there any historical basis for Shakespeare's tale? Well, sort of. Multiple Roman sources, including Suetonius, Plutarch, Cicero and Valerius Maximus, all reveal that an Etruscan soothsayer by the name of Spurinna did warn Caesar about impending danger. That said, he wasn't quite as specific as Shakespeare's famous line might have us believe. He actually warned Caesar of danger during the days either on or leading up to the Ides, which is still pretty impressive.
Caesar was assassinated on March 15 of 44 BCE by up to 60 senators who all took turns stabbing him to death in the Largo di Torre Argentina. The assassins acted based on tensions that had been simmering between Caesar and the Senate; the Senate had been afraid that Caesar was about to overthrow them, crown himself king and turn the republic into an empire run solely by himself.
While the idea behind Caesar's assassination was to safeguard the powers of the Roman Republic, it ironically ended up doing just the opposite. Click the "Publish" button. The widget in your post or page should now be good to go.
