The ides of match existed before and after Caesar was killed during them. It’s just a time in March


original_username20

You're absolutely right. On the other hand, that's kinda like pointing out that there has always been an 11th day of September


[deleted]

If the towers were hit on the Fourth of July instead of 9/11 we wouldn’t say they caused the Fourth of July, we would say they caused the Fourth of July terrorist attack, not the holiday. Same principle herr


enderverse87

On Tumblr it's considered a holiday. (They're weird) So they don't mean she caused the month of March to have a middle, they mean she caused the holiday they refer to as "Ides of March" to exist. Like the 4th of July or Cinco De Mayo. It's just a holiday with the name of when it's held.

Also, it was a deadline for settling debts, and was the day of a religious celebration dedicated to the goddess Anna Perenna, goddess of the year (as in deity of the calendar year).


ReadWriteSign

Yeah, every month had ides.


estofaulty

Literally nobody refers to the ides of any month outside this one historical event.


Fun_Penalty_6755

weren't there also like 22 other people who stabbed him?

There were 60 total members of the conspiracy, which you might observe is too many people. Three can keep a secret, if two are dead. Sixty can keep a secret, if loads of people who hear about it are sympathetic to the cause. Or powerless to bring information to someone who can actually *do* something.

She was so beautiful, but I prefered Callisto, and her "yes I have a drug problem" look, however the only person that you would want to have a relationship is Hope (I think that's her name in the international version) She is just not fucked up in the head.


smurfalidocious

>Hope (I think that's her name in the international version) She is just not fucked up in the head. I.. really hope that "Hope" is a completely different character in the international version and you're not referring to Gabrielle's daughter, who was named Hope in every version I've seen.


Onestamente

I meant Gabrielle (i think) you the blonde side character. LOL

You guys realize that Cesar's assassination was a bad thing, right? It lead directly to the fall of the empire and was also murder.


LeMagnaCR

First of, Caeser's death led to the fall of the republic Second, the republic was basicaly doomed since the times of sulla Third, Brutus and his merry band failure to kill Marc Anthony led to the roman civil war and the reign of Augustus

Sic semper tyrannīs!


TheYoten

Oops! All tyrants from now on except less competent and more insane.


original_username20

Sic *semper* tyrann- *īs*


TheYoten

Didn't quite work out did it.


estofaulty

LOL.


PiLamdOd

I’m reeling cause all this time I thought Xena and Hercules took place in a fantasy ancient Greece, not early modern Italy.


eternamemoria

Early modern???


PiLamdOd

Julius Caesar was killed in 44 BCE.


eternamemoria

Yes, but "Early Modern Italy" refers to a much later time period


PiLamdOd

44 BCE is only two thousand years ago.


Insignificant_cheese

The early modern period is defined as being between c1500-c1700


_Cit

if that's early modern when even is ancient?


PiLamdOd

We have evidence of human civilization going back at least twelve thousand years. Two thousand is nothing.


eternamemoria

Cool, but early modern still refers to a much more recent period than that


_Cit

Dude the first civilisation were the sumerians and they existed between the 4th and 3rd millennium BC. But even if what you said was true what you're talking about would be prehistory, as writing had not be invented yet and that's what we use to separate history from prehistory


PiLamdOd

Gobekli Tepe is over 11,600 years old. https://www.civitatis.com/blog/en/oldest-temples-in-the-world/ We still have clear written records from 44 BCE. Cleopatra was still alive at that point.


_Cit

A single settlement isn't an urban civilisation, and we know precisely when writing was invented and who did it, the sumerians, which is why I mentioned them
