The Ides of March is the day on the Roman calendar marked as the idus, roughly the midpoint of the month of Martius, corresponding to 15 March on the Gregorian calendar. It was marked by several major religious observances and was a deadline for settling debts in Rome. In 44 BC, it became notorious as the date of the assassination of Julius Caesar, which made the Ides of March a turning point in Roman history.
