plutarch
in modern times, the ides of march is best known as the date on which julius caesar was assassinated in 44 bc. caesar was stabbed to death at a meeting of the senate. as many as 60 conspirators, led by brutus and cassius, were involved. according to plutarch, a seer had warned that harm would come to caesar no later than the ides of march. on his way to the theatre of pompey, where he would be assassinated, caesar passed the seer and joked, "the ides of march are come", implying that the prophecy had not been fulfilled, to which the seer replied "aye, caesar; but not gone." this meeting is famously dramatised in william shakespeare's play "julius caesar", when caesar is warned by the soothsayer to "beware the ides of march." the roman biographer suetonius identifies the "seer" as a haruspex named spurinna.
