Today is March 15th. The Ides of March is the name used for March 15th on the Roman calendar. The term IDES was used for the 15th day of the months of March, May, July, and October and the 13th day of the other months. The Ides of March was a festive day dedicated to the Roman god Mars and a military parade was usually held.
In modern times, the phrase, IDES OF MARCH is best known as the date Julius Caesar was killed in 44 B.C. by Roman senators led by Marcus Junius Brutus, Gaius Cassius Longinus and 60 other co-conspirators. This scene is famously dramatized in William Shakespeares's play Julius Caesar.
