The Ides of March...........

Today......March 15, marks the day that one of the most famous conqueror's on Earth's history, Julius Caesar, was stabbed to death in 44 BC, on his way to the Theater of Pompey, by conspirator's.  Among the co conspirator's was Marcus Junius Brutus, his close friend.  And Julius, in his dying breath, coined the sentence "Et tu Brute"......And you too Brutus.  There were approximately, 60 conspirators in Julius Caesar's assassination plot, and in the frenzy of stabbings, even some of the assassins, stabbed each other.  The funny thing about Brutus' name......to this day, Italians use the word "Brutto" as Ugly, just for how ugly and bloody Caesar's assassination really was.

In Memoriam
