"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!
IT CAME FROM ANCIENT ROME!
ReplyDeleteJULIUS CEASER DIED ON THIS DAY!
I think society remembers this date because Ancient Rome was a very big Empire and it was thanks to Julius Ceaser that Rome became and Empire. Most of our langauge and things have been inherited from Ancient Rome, so we remember this day because we have inherited so many things from them.

"Beware the ides of March" is what the sootsayer told Julius Caesar before he was assassinated in the Roman Senate,,,it stood for Beware the 15th of March" which was the day the assassination took place in the Senate led by his good friend Brutus at which Caesar uttered "et tu Brute?" asking "and you Brutus" as Brutus stabbed him too..
That is what the site said hear is what I said the ides of march is the day that Julius Caesar got stabbed by the senate. This phrase came from roman times. (bc) We remember this today because the ides of march is like a bad luck day for the U.S.A.

Julius Ceaser died in Rome. I think this day is remembered because he was the most powerful person in Rome and he died. By Nick Isabella
ReplyDeleteBeware the Ides of March is the 15th of March and was the warning of Julius Caesar's death. I think society still remembers this day because Julius Caesar was a very important man and he was assassinated. When he died everyone was very sad and it was very unfortunate that he did die. Another reason they might remember this day is because people might think this date is unlucky because he was such a great man and he was killed.

ReplyDelete"The Ides Of March" means the 15th of March, May, July, and October. It came from the soothsayer when she warned Julius Caesar to beware the 15th of March. On the 15th of March, he died a horrible death of being stabbed. The Ides was just a was just a fancy word for the 15th. Little did he know that the day would be so important. We remember this today because he was one of the most important emperors and icons of war. He was the first Roman Emperor of all time.

In modern times, the term Ides of March is best known as the date on which Julius Caesar was killed in 44 B.C. Caesar was stabbed (23 times) to death in the Roman Senate by a group of conspirators led by Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longinus. The group included 60 other co-conspirators according to Plutarch. Also The phrase "Beware the Ides of March" is a quote from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, and is a soothsayer's message to Caesar warning him of his impending death. Julius Caesar was killed on the 15th of march. I think society still remembers this event today because this was very important because this was a person that was just about to take the thron but he was assacanated so he couldent even be emperor also he could have changed the cors of history.

"Beware the ides of the march".
ReplyDeleteThe famous leader Julius Caesar was assassinated on the 15th of March in 44BC, at the age of 55. Julius Caesar was a good leader in the army. He reorganized the army. He improved the way provinces were governed. He suggested new laws, most of which were approved by the Senate, and during his lifetime, he had held just about every important title in the Roman Republic including consul, tribune of the people, high commander of the army, and high priest. I think those are the main reasons people remember him and celebrate this day to remember how important he was, and how good of a leader he was.

"Beware the Ides of March" is the warning to Julius Ceaser from the soothsayer before Julius Ceaser was killed by the senate on March 15th (the Ides of March.) The phrase came from roman times (B.C.) We remember this phrase today because the Ides of March is the day Julius Ceaser was killed and he was a great impact.
It is remember because some people reflected on this in a question how can make a republic without the threat of the event that happened 2050 years ago?
ReplyDeleteLike the day John Kennedy was killed the vehicle the president gone in a changed. This was probably (I guess) a time when many people had (if they knew it) thought of the Ides of march.

Beware the ides of march means on March 15th, the day that Roman Emperor Julius Caesar was killed and in Shakespeare's play, the death is foretold by a fortune teller with that line. The assassination was led by Brutus who stabbed him 48 times. He was 55 years old and it was 44B.C. Caesar's last words were et tu Brute? That means and you Brutus.
"Beware The Ides Of March" is a phrase that basically means "something bad will happen on the Ides of March (otherwise known as March 15, or today)." On this day, Julius Caesar, the first emperor of Rome, was killed. The phrase was from a Shakespearian play, where a soothsayer spoke the phrase.

The soothsayer's warning to Julius Caesar, "Beware the Ides of March," has forever imbued that date with a sense of foreboding. But in Roman times the expression "Ides of March" did not necessarily evoke a dark mood—it was simply the standard way of saying "March 15." Surely such a fanciful expression must signify something more than merely another day of the year? Not so. Even in Shakespeare's time, sixteen centuries later, audiences attending his play Julius Caesar wouldn't have blinked twice upon hearing the date called the Ides.
ReplyDeleteBrock Butkovsky
The ides of March is March 15th, the day of the Roman holiday Lupercalia. Whichever day is the “ides” of the month depends on a series of calculations Julius Caesar established when he made the Julian Calendar. The importance of this day is it is the day he will be assassinated by a group of conspirators. A soothsayer warned Julius “Beware the Ides of March”, and that is what the saying is from.

I think society remembers the phrase because the phrase was from the date of when Julius Ceasers death. This is remembered today because when Julius Ceaser died it was during ancient Rome a very important part of history. Julius Ceaser was a great fighter and leader. The senate didn't agree with Julius Ceaser. The senate was able to kill ceaser.

On March 15, Julius Ceaser was assassinated (Stabbed to death) by Marcus Junius Brutus and several other people in the Roman Senate. Julius Caesar said this when a seer foresaw that something would happen to Caesar (would get harmed)not later than the Ides of March. Caesar met that seer and joked saying, "The ides of March are coming." He was stabbed eventually 23 times when he was assassinated, which was on March 15.

The ides of March is remembering the day of Julius Caesar’s back-stabbing assassination. It is a day when prophecies of doom are realized. Bad things happen every day but we just seem to realize them more on The Ideas of March and/or Friday the 13th.

The Ides of March was a date on the Roman calendar (Idus Martias) corresponding with our date of March 15. It was a fateful date. A well known occurrence on the Ides of March, in 44 B.C.E, Julius Caesar was assassinated, at the foot of a statue of Pompey where the Senate was meeting. Before Caesar went to the theater of Pompey to attend the Senate meeting, he had been given advice not to go, but he didn't listen. He thought he was safe becaus ehe was Julius Ceasar. People still remember it today because, he was a great leader (to most) and he was a very popular leader, so his death was a big thing.

"Beware the Ides of March" comes from ancient Rome. The Romans used 3 markers on their calenders. The Kalends, which marked the first day in the month. The Nones, which is the first week in the month, and the Ides which marks the second week in a month. it just so happens that Julius Caesar was killed on the Ides of March. This is why it is called "Beware the March of Ides". I think that society still remembers it today because Julius Caesar was a great man and he didn't even get to be the first Emperor even though he fought so hard for it. He made a lot of good things happen, and this is why society still remembers him and respects him.

ReplyDeleteThe Ides of March did not signify anything special just March 15.
Julius Ceasar died on this date(44 B.C.) I think society still remembers it because it must be a very important day because of this they moved tax month to April. Also, i think because it reminds me of J.F.K and his assasination because when Ceasar died some people were devistated and some people were happy and when J.F.K died of assasination many people were sad and probably a few people were happy..sadly.

“Beware the Ides of March”
ReplyDeleteThis phrase started is always on March 15th and has been known ever since. This “soothsayer’s” message is all about the warning of Julius Caesar’s death. Unfortunately Julius Caesar was stabbed to death on March 15th. The Ides of March was just a name for the time that happened during March 15th. I think that society still remembers this because it was a time when a great leader was killed and there a movie: The Ides of March.

"Beware The Ides Of March" is a soothsayer's message to Julius Caeser, warning of his death. Ides (the 15th day in March, May, July, and October; the 13th in the other months). The Ides of March didnt really signify anything else but just was another way to say "March 15".
On March 15, 44 BC, Julius Caesar was stabbed to death by Marcus Bru(tal)tus and several other senators.
