Julius Caesar
Sometimes I have to remember that Julius Caesar was a real person and he was really assassinated. Mark Antony, Cleopatra, were all real human beings. They are so much more part of legend than “reality” Whatever that is!
Did you know though, it was marked by several religious observances and was notable for the Romans as a deadline for settling debts? It just so happened that it ended being the same date as Caesars assassination. In the earliest calendar, the Ides of March would have been the first full moon of the new year.
