Janus carried a long face looking forward, depicting that the future will not be favorable. The seer of the gods has cried with a solemn voice and spine chilling tenor. “Beware of the Ides of March, for one who sees all will fall to the ground like dust”. When Cicero took the news to the king, Julius Caesar, he laughed it off as the blabbing of a mystic fool. He failed to heed the warnings. Unbeknown to him, Brutus was scheming to have him killed. As the Ides of March approached, there was an uneasiness that spread through the air, pain seemed to have a smell and everyone in the realm minded their steps. Cicero was moved to remind the king about this prediction but still he waved it off. On the night of March 14th, Caesar was hosted to a feast of wine with his members of council, when the convivial joy was at its heights; Brutus rose from his seat to accuse Caesar of tyranny and asked all to strike him down with Brutus giving the fatal strike with the sword. Caesar’s life was ended on the Ides of March- the day of the red blood sky.
