15 Stories of Betrayal to Read for the Ides of March

My introduction to Shakespeare's JULIUS CAESAR was when my sixth grade teacher read out the drama aloud in class. I have read a part of Calpurnia. Looking at the painful 6 - year - old boy shouting dramatically, there is a burning sensation, "Et tu, Brute?" Needless to say, I will never forget Ides in March. This year we celebrate the dramatic and unforgettable betrayal of the other 15 novels.

The assassination of Julius Caesar on March 15th BC was closely related to the phrase "Watch out for thoughts in March." . In Roman times, the idea of ​​March of Idez and other half-moon signs was called deadline of debt settlement. This week I write a short story that a prophet or a fortune teller predicts major events in the middle of March. Is this a forward-looking premonition or a sinister sign? How does your hero prepare or move this prophecy? Does this behavior reveal optimism and pessimism of your personality?

If you have heard about Ideus in March, you probably know that you should be careful about them. why? In ancient Rome, the idees of March are the same as us on March 15. In the Roman calendar, this date corresponds to several religious ceremonies. The Romans believed that Ideus in March was a settlement deadline for debt. However, in modern society, if you have heard of Ides in March, thanks to William Shakespeare. In his play, the prophet Julius Caesar pulled Caesar's attention and told him:

Caesar's murder, funeral, Anthony's speech, will reading, and the arrival of Octavius ​​all occurred on the same day of the drama. Historically, however, the assassination took place on March 15 (Ideas in March), the will was announced on March 18, the funeral was released on March 20, and Octavius ​​arrived only in May Did. Shakespeare called Caesar's last sentence "Et tu, Brute? (And you, Brutus?)" And Plutarch and Suettonis reported that he said nothing, Plutarch added. Suetonius recorded other reports, Caesar said in Greek "καὶσὺὺ, τέκνον;" (Kai su, teknon?). "You, child?") Latin letters Et Tu, Brute? But they were not designed by Shakespeare because they were due to Caesar in the early Elizabethan work and became a traditional work in 1599.

In the Ides era from March to 15th March, Julius Caesar fell to the Brutus, Cassius and 21 other senator knives. On that day, among the most difficult things, there were ten times the silver silver coin one to two years after the murder of Brutus. On one side of this rare coin is depicted a military style dagger with a felt cap on the side, a symbol of freedom from slavery, abbreviated EID MAR. On the other hand, Brutus is stamping his portrait. Prior to that, Caesar was the only Roman who dared to make himself a coin, because it was done to fulfill the role of the monarch - or the god.
