    Shouldn’t the Ides of March rather be calculated by the Julian calendar? Just saying.

    especially if, for some reason, you think the current year is 44 BCE.

    If you are an Orthodox Christian and follow the Julian Calendar, then yes.

    Otherwise, it would make no sense. The Ides would come around the time of the Kalends of the next month and God only knows what would happen to the Nones.

    That would apply to most Republicans and a lot of Roman Catholics too.

    One presumes you meant a “Caesar” salad and a “Caesar” haircut.

    I guess C. Julius Caesar and Mahatma Gandhi both regularly turn over in their graves because of people misspelling their names… 😉
