Beware the Ides of March!
On the Ides of March in 44 BCE, Julius Caesar was assassinated by stabbing. The Ides of March was the first day of the Roman year. The Ides corresponds with our modern March 15th.
Shakespeare records Caesar's last words in his play Julius Caesar as "Et tu, Brute?" He was basically saying "Aww man, you too Brutus?" Since Brutus was Caesar's adopted son and one of his best friends. It was especially brutal (see what I did there?) to have the last stab be from Brutus.
