The Ides of March (March 15th)

In 44 B.C., Julius Caesar was assassinated at a meeting of the Roman Senate on the Ides of March (and you thought our Congress was bad). William Shakespeare immortalized him in his play Julius Caesar. From him we got the lines "et tu, Brutus?" "Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears," and the brilliant speech by Marc Antony condemning Brutus with the phrase "Brutus is an honorable man." So celebrate the Ides of March this year by reading the play or dressing up in a toga.
