2068 years ago today, Julius Caesar did not pay heed to the warnings of the soothsayer and was stabbed to death by the Roman Senate.

ETA: Correction, 2067 years ago.

Wasn't 44 BC 2067 years ago, rather than 2068 (since there is no year zero)?

Year Difference = 44 + 2024 - 1 = 2067

There is some opaqueness around the birth and life of Christ.

Don't blame the rest of the Senators for the actions of a small group of radicals. By that time the Roman Senate had nearly 1000 Senators.

Also on this date:
In 1912, the great Cy Young retired, with a record of 511-315.
Sadly, he never won a Cy Young Award
