[TD]Today in 44 BC, Julius Caesar was stabbed to death at the Senate by as many as 60 high-ranking Roman conspirators.
The conspirators considered a number of plans for killing Caesar, but settled on an attack in the Senate, where their togas would provide cover for their blades.
Rumours of a plot were going around and some of Caesar’s friends tried to stop him going to the Senate. His doctors were concerned by dizzy spells he was suffering and his wife, Calpurnia, had had worrying dreams. Brutus stepped in to reassure Caesar that he would be fine.
Nicolaus of Damascus recounts a messy scene in the Senate with men injuring each other as they scramble to kill Caesar. Once Caesar was down, more conspirators rushed in, perhaps keen to make their mark on history, and he was reportedly stabbed 35 times.
When he saw that even Brutus - perhaps his illegitimate son - had turned against him, he is said to have pulled his toga over his head. Shakespeare, rather than contemporary reports, gave us the phrase "Et tu, Brute?"[/TD]

202 years ago Maine shed the mantle of being a Massachusetts satellite and entered the Union as a Free State, offsetting Missouri's Slave Statehood, in the "Missouri Compromise"...
Buon Dantedì! Established in 2020, Dantedì is the national day dedicated to Dante Alighieri, the father of the Italian language. March 25th was chosen as it is recognized by scholars as the day the poet started his journey in the afterlife in the Divine Comedy.
Dante Alighieri is Italy’s foremost poet, the “Father of the Italian language,” and one of the greatest Italian writers. Born in Florence in approximately 1265, Dante came from a relatively well-off family and was believed to have been educated at home. At the age of 9, he fell in love with a young girl named Beatrice Portinari, who would play a pivotal role in his writing of the "Divine Comedy." Despite being betrothed to another girl, Gemma di Manetto Donati, at the age of 12, Dante continued to love Beatrice and wrote many poems and sonnets about her. Due to his involvement in tumultuous Florentine politics, Dante was exiled from his beloved Florence after his political rivals took control of the city.
Roads of Dante is a meditative journey launched in 2017 that follows in the footsteps of Italy's divine poet. The epic 245-mile path can be traversed by bike, on foot, or by train and links all the places between the regions of Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna that Dante visited during his early 14th-century exile. Starting at Dante's tomb in Ravenna and finishing at the Dante's House Museum in Florence, the route takes in many of the places that the poet described in his iconic work, the "Divine Comedy."
