Beware the Ides of March????



March 15 was forever marked as the Ides of March, as a day of infamy, following the bloody assassination of Julius Ceaser on that day in 44BC. Romans living before that event, however, saw ides as simply marking the appearance of the full moon. Today, thanks to the William Shakespeare‘s play Julius Caesar, the soothsayer’s warning to Julius Caesar, “Beware the Ides of March,” has forever linked that date with a sense of foreboding.
But why should any date be any worse than another? In Roman times the Ides of March was mostly notable as a deadline for settling debts. So the Ides of March is not a bad date to think about getting your accounts into order for the financial end of year which is fast approaching. Or maybe its a date for sorting those paper piles so that you can see the moon!! So maybe it’s not a case of the Ides of March – but instead think “Yikes it’s March … call in help and get my life sorted..."
