According to legend, some warning signs preceded the conspiracy of Caesar: the fortune teller Spurrina advised Caesar not to take part in any public event on the day of the Ides of March (or 15 March) because he would be in danger of death.
Caesar’s wife, Calpurnia, was the protagonist of one of the most famous dreams in history: the night before Caesar’s murder she dreamt of her husband standing on a pedestal surrounded by a multitude of people approaching menacingly with bloody knives in his hand.
The dream deeply alarmed the woman who asked Caesar not to leave the house that day fearing for her safety.
Caesar did not take his wife’s fears very seriously and went to the Senate where he was assassinated by his own political collaborators.
A few days after the conspiracy was opened the will of Caesar who, as reported by Plutarch and Suetonius, left to every citizen of Rome 300 sesterces. Today’s equivalent would be about 250€
