Beware the Ides of March! If you’re name’s not Caesar, I’m pretty sure you’re ok, but today is one of the most famous dates in history as it’s the day Julius Caesar was assassinated. The story goes a seer warned Caesar about the ides of March being a day when harm would come to him. When March 15th came, Caesar saw the seer again and said “the ides of March have come” to which the seer replied “Aye, Caesar. But not gone.” And so Caesar met his demise.
As many as 60 conspirators were involved in the end of Caesar, but we wanted to see how many homes on coldwellbanker.com alluded to the details of the Ides of March. Over 50 homes make reference to Caesar, but here are a few that really stand out:
