March 15th (or the Ides of March in Latin) gets its infamous meaning thanks to William Shakespeare’s play, Julius Caesar. Where a soothsayer tells Caesar, “Beware the Ides of March”. The message was a warning of his death. Which of course came true when Caesar was assassinated by a group of conspirators, including people he trusted.
Ever since then the Ides of March has stood for a warning of doom or even better – REVENGE!
