The Ides of March

Today was a very important day in European history: the Ides of March. Julius Caesar was assassinated.
Roman Senators and politicians plotted against their "Dictator", Julius Caesar, in hopes of restoring Constitutional power to the Roman Republic.  They stabbed him multiple times in the Roman Senate in 44 BC. Some 60 people plotted against Caesar, including his closest friends, Brutus and Cassius.  A seer had foreseen the event and predicted that Caesar would come to harm by The Ides of March.  By the time the day arrived and nothing had happened, Caesar thought he was home free, but he didn't make it through the day. The goal of the assasnination was not accomplished as several civil wars broke out and Caesar's heirs took over the Roman Empire.
