Today is the ides of March! For those of you who don't know, today is the day that Caesar was murdered in 44 B.C. Yeppers, he was stabbed to death in the senate house. I watched an episode of "Unearthing Ancient Secrets" that talked about his death. It was weird though, that they played it a week or two ago instead of today. Hmm.
Anyway, the man who was trying to figure out if the "story" of how Caesar died, the stabbing and such by 60 or so of the senators, was actually true. After doing some research and a few reenactments, he decided that it was most likely false. He believes that the ideal number of senators that killed him was about five. The maximum, he theorized, was about ten. Obviously, he can't give concrete proof, but his findings, to me, appear to be very accurate and plausible. I guess we will never know.
