"Beware the Ides of March"

"Beware the Ides of March" is not telling you to not watch the Oscar nominated movie starring Ryan Gosling and George Clooney.  In fact this phrase came long ago... before the prestigious Oscar award was even created.    So where in history did this phrase come from?  What famous leader died on this date in history?  Why do you think society still remembers it today? 

You may use the internet to help you on your quest. However, do not forget to site your source. Good luck!
