Ides of March Tote Bag

This is the perfect Latin tote bag for March 15 or any day of the year! It says “Cave Idus Martias” which means “Beware the Ides of March” in Latin on one side and “Et Tu, Brute” on the other side.

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.
