It’s the “Ides of March” today — representing the 74th day of the Roman calendar and the day in ancient Rome that was the deadline for settling debts from the previous year. . . .Of course, the “Ides of March”, or the 15th of March, has also became known for betrayal because it was on that date in 44 B.C. that the assassination of Emperor Julius Caesar happened.  Thus the commonplace slogan, “Beware the Ides of March”.
