The Ides Of March
Caesar was warned.
The first emperor of Rome, the ruler of Europe, Asia, and Northern Africa, the man who had broken the Republic, simply scoffed.
The old man had not been cowed in his presence, and Caesar, having grown accustomed to instilling fear, awe, and respect in even his closest associates, was vexed. Who would dare lay hands on Caesar? He derisively dismissed the warnings.
That evening, Caesar saw the old man on his way to the theater. "Well, the Ides of March have come," he remarked.
The old man, still defiant, responded, "Aye, but they are not yet gone."
