Et Tu Brute Shirt – Light

$25.99$34.99

This is the perfect Latin shirt for March 15 or any day of the year! It says “Et Tu, Brute” which means “And You, Brutus” in Latin!

Before his untimely death at the hands of the Roman senators in 44 BC, Caesar was reportedly warned by a soothsayer with the words “Cave Idus Martias,” meaning “beware the Ides of March.” The word “ides” means the 15th day of the month. In Shakespeare’s version, as he lay dying, Caesar uttered the words “Et tu, Brute?” meaning something along the lines of “Brutus! DUDE! You too?? I thought we were friends!!” (I paraphrased that…) There is a record of the soothsayer’s warning before Caesar’s death, but the dying words were apparently a Shakespearean addition.

Be sure to check our shop to find the Cave Idus Martias shirt, which is the perfect complement to this one! You could wear them as a couple, as a pair of teacher friends, or wear this one on the 14th of March and the Et Tu Brute on the 15th! There are so many nerdy fun options with these! They are where my loves of Latin, Roman history, and Shakespeare all collide! PLEASE tell me I’m not alone!!

Also, be sure to read all about our family’s Ides of March shenanigans at the end of this article!
