On this episode of Newt's World, the Ides of March is a day on the Roman calendar that corresponds

to March 15th. In 44 BC, March 15th became notorious as the date of the assassination of Julius

Caesar which made the Ides of March a turning point in Roman history. So on this episode,

I'm telling the story of Julius Caesar's remarkable life and death. If you doubt Caesar's impact on

all our lives, have a look at a calendar. There's a month called July. That month was named for Julius

Caesar. The following month is August named after Caesar's nephew, the first Roman emperor Augustus.

The calendar we use today was named after these two men who lived two thousand years ago.

The modern calendar is actually Caesar's calendar. He added the number of days necessary to actually

fit how often the earth goes around the sun and the 365 day calendar, including adjusting it every

four years for leap year, is Caesar's invention. So Caesar's in your life, whether you know it or not,

he's in your life every year and he's part of the calendar by which you live.

is today still a term that describes a centralized dictatorial power, two thousand years after he died.
