Ides of March marks March 15, 44 BC — the day Roman senators killed Julius Caesar in the Theatre of Pompey, an assassination that ended the Roman Republic and inspired a soothsayer’s warning that outlasted the empire. Belarus Constitution Day marks March 15, 1994, when Belarus adopted its first post-Soviet constitution. Brutus Day is the playful annual observance of unexpected betrayal, drawn from the most famous stab in antiquity. Buzzards Day marks the annual return of Turkey vultures to Hinckley, Ohio, a migration event so reliably on schedule it has been tracked since 1957. The soothsayer was right; the vultures are always punctual.
