I read Shakespeare's Julius Ceasar a long time ago; and thought until today, that the ides of March meant the Number Fifteen of March. Then i read this short article 'Beware the Eyes of March?'
http://buzz.yahoo.com/buzzlog/66338/beware-the-eyes-of-march By Gordon Hurd, on Msn, and there it was stated, that the ides of March "It is, after all, just a phrase meaning the middle of the month in the ancient Roman calendar." However the 'ides of March' marks the day of the assassinationof Julius Ceasar on March 15th, 44 BC.
