Answer:

15th of March

Step-by-step explanation:

On the way to the Senate, a soothsayer warned Julio Cesar to watch out for the March, Confident of his strength, Caesar paid no attention. In the Roman calendar of the time, the days were the days of March 15, May, July and October (in other months it fell on the 13th). Fateful days abhorred by witches, seers, or mere mortals sensitive to the murky frames.

On March 15, in Rome, the newly consecrated Julius Caesar was assassinated with 23 stab wounds by some of the 60 conspirators who wanted to get rid of him. One of them, his friend Brutus, recognized by the victim before his death, deserved a lament that William Shakespeare immortalized in his tragedy: "Even you, Brutus?"
