ok boys this is fresh from my classroom teachings from a few yrs back, The ides of march was origingaly a festitval held to honor the god mars it usually involved a military parade but in 44 bce (before common era) julious ceasar was stabbed 23 times (theres a bit of a debate as to the amont but none the less it was enough to kill him)by marcus brutus and gaius longinus and a large grop of 60 other conspirators that were fed up with his abuse of power.
