Enough about Pi. 15 March is approaching in a few days, and here's a bit of information designed to make you just that little bit more knowledgable. After all, CustOMERs are smart.
The Ides of March was a day in the Roman calendar that corresponds to 15 March. It was marked by several religious observances and was notable for the Romans as a deadline for settling debts. In 44 BC, it became notorious as the date of the assassination of Julius Caesar which made the Ides of March a turning point in Roman history.
