Beware the Ides of March<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SOOTHSAYER: Caesar!
CAESAR: Ha! Who calls?
CASCA: Bid every noise be still; peace yet again!
CAESAR: Who is it in the press that calls on me?
I hear a tongue shriller than all the music
Cry \u2018 Caesar!\u2019 Speak. Caesar is turned to hear.
SOOTHSAYER: Beware the ides of March.
CAESAR: What man is that?
BRUTUS: A soothsayer bids you beware the ides of March.
CAESAR: Set him before me; let me see his face.
CASSIUS: Fellow, come from the throng; look upon Caesar.
CAESAR: What sayst thou to me now? Speak once again.
SOOTHSAYER: Beware the Ides of March.
CAESAR: He is a dreamer. Let us leave him. Pass.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Julius Caesar and the Ides of March, 44 BC<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Ides of March is the 15th of March. The day Julius Caesar didn’t take the warning that might have saved his life. You might suggest he got what was coming to the first populist Dictator. But any study of Roman History will find many precursors to Caesar in Roman and Greek History. Among populists, I rank Caesar with Napoleon a Dictators who was, personally, an intelligent, rational man. They, in some ways, ruled ‘wisely’ but were nonetheless willing to sacrifice millions of people for their own personal ambition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warning from history – Assassination is not the Answer!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Today, the world is faced with the populists who are geniuses only in their own minds. I know, we as humans, might think, if only X would drop dead, how much better it would be? Brutus, being an honourable man, took action upon his thought. But, as often is the case, what seemed the ‘right thing’ to do, turned out to be a disaster. The plotters were trying to save the Roman Republic, but the murder destroyed the Republic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, still those assassinary thoughts, read this article in ‘History Today’ about the impact of Julius Caesar’s murder<\/a>. Do everything you can but use democratic means to defeat egotists to whom truth means nothing. In my opinion this is the major problem for humanity, it seems we do not know how to stop homicidal maniacs (like Hitler) causing war without needing to fight a war to stop them. We do not have a method of peaceful mass rebellion. Perhaps Gandhi came closest but then he was working against a system that was not a dictatorship. (I mentioned Gandhi in ‘On This Day’ on my post here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ides of March<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now, what the heck are or indeed is the Ides of March?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Roman month was divided into three, first the Kalends, then the Nones and finally the Ides. These three days were the important days of the month. The Kalends is the 1st of the Month. The Nones the 7th of the Month, And the Ides the Fifteenth. It is said to go back to the early days of Rome and a lunar calendar. The Kalends being the first tiny sliver of a crescent moon a couple of days after the New Moon. The Nones the first quarter of the Moon and the Ides was the full moon. To me, as a way of dividing a month it is very lopsided. The cycle of the moon is 29 days not 15. So the tripartite division divides up the first half of the month, and leave the second half undivided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Debts were supposed to be paid on the Kalends and that is where we get our word calendar from. These public calendars were called Fasti. This is the name of Ovid’s great Almanac Poem, the Fasti, which I often quote from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kalendar<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"This
This is a very bad photograph of a drawing by Herbert E Duncan Jr of a 1st Century Calendar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

How was it used? When talking about a day in the future month you might say I’ll meet you on the 5th day before the Kalends. I’ve never really understood this system, despite a few attempts, until I saw this drawing of a Roman Calendar. You’ll have to read this closely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first column, on the left, with the letters from D to H then A – H. This is a recurring cycle of 8 market days, running in tandem with Kalends, Nones etc.. This gives an 8 day week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now reading across the top line in capitals: DKMARTNP. So the D is the 4 day of the 8 day ‘market week’. The second column begins with the Letter K for Kalends, then MART for March. So it’s the Kalends of March. Then NP which means this day is a day for public festivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back to the second column. Below the K for Kalends, the days are counted down to the upcoming Nones. So the next one after Kalends is VI, meaning the 6th day before the March Nones. Then V, IIII, III. There is no II because PR means the day before Nones. Below and to the right of the PR are the letters NON which is, as you might hope, is short for Nones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the second column below this is the number VIII which means the next day is the 8th day before the Ides of March. The fragment of stone from which this drawing comes does not continue down to the Ides, unfortunately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Complicated, huh? It gets worse. The third column has a series of letters in it: F C C C NP NON F C C. We already know that the NON is short for Nones, The F means it’s a fastus<\/a><\/em>, a permissible day when legal action can be taken. (the plural of Fastus is Fasti.) The C means C<\/strong> comitialis<\/em> which on fasti<\/em> days the Roman people could hold assemblies. (see my post for more on the curia<\/em>e<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Market and Public Days<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We have already seen that NP marks days for public festivals. An N would mean days when political and judicial actions were prohibited, although there is not one here. The small unreadable text to the right is information, I believe, about holidays and historic events to be marked in the calendar. This is, in fact, a Roman Stone Almanac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This confusing system survived Caesar’s major calendrical reforms. He transformed the Roman calendar, which was rotten at the core. He re-aligned with an almost accurate calculation of the time the Sun takes to circle the earth. (or the other way around!) This is known as the Julian Calendar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the Kalends, Nones, and Ides he left intact and it survived until Constantine the Great got rid of them. They were replaced with the familiar 4 fold division of the month. So, for the first time, you could work 24\/7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glad you are not Roman?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Caesar’s Calendrical reforms look at this post<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On This Day<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

493<\/strong> \u2013 Odoacer, the first barbarian King of Italy after the fall of the Western Roman Empire<\/a>, was slain by Theodoric the Great, king of the Ostrogoths, while the two kings were feasting together. Odoacer was a mercenary General for the Romans, but seized the Throne from the child Emperor Romulus Augustulus<\/a>, who ruled for only 10 months. Theodoric took over and ruled an Empire centred on Italy from 496 to 526. Both Kings followed the Arian version of Christianity, although generally did not persecute the Catholic Tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Theodoric was, more powerful than the later Roman Emperors and had good relations with the Roman Senate, which continued in operation. Later in his rule, that relationship broke down. This lead to Theodoric arresting Boethius for treason. While awaiting execution, Boethius wrote ‘On The Consolation of Philosophy’. Often called the last great literary work of the Western Roman Empire. Amongst many translations into English are those by King Alfred the Great, Geoffrey Chaucer and Queen Elizabeth I. Boethius was executed in 523<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1493 <\/strong>– Christopher Columbus arrived in Castille, back from the journey that changed the world. He made landfall in the Bahamas on 12th October 1492, ending what became known as the pre-Columbian<\/a> Age (aka pre-contact era). The voyage began the era of exploration that turned the world into a global entity, but also bringing in its wake horrific genocide of indigenous peoples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1877<\/strong> – First Cricket Test Match between England and Australia, held at Melbourne which the Aussies won by 45 runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1909<\/strong> – Selfridge’s opened on Oxford Street<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1927<\/strong> \u2013 The first Oxford v Cambridge Women’s Boat Race took place in Oxford on the Isis<\/a>. The Isis is what posh folk call the River Thames as it flows passed the University Town. In Latin the Thames is called the Tamesis. And a conceit grew up at the University that the River was called the Isis until it was joined by the River Thame at Dorchester, where the conjoined river was called the Tamesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Boat Race was won by Oxford. Strangely, the boats did not row at the same time. On the first leg they were judged by the style of their rowing, and on the second by the speed. The judges could not agree on the style scores, so in the end the decision was given to Oxford on account of being the faster of the two boats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
