The 15th of March, foul tidings afoot.
Caesar’s conspirators enacted their plan and ended his ambition, sealing the fate of the Republic

I meant the song with all the cold war innuendo. What's the point in titling it the ides of March? I knew about the ceasar assassination connection

It's the name of the band, you'll have to ask them. I don't believe for a second you knew anything about Julius Caesar and the ides of March, but maybe that's me.

The day Caesar was assassinated. March 15 is the Ides of March. He was warned, "beware the ides of march" but didn't listen.

This is an actual coin that Brutus had printed.

The Ides of March also corresponded with the first full moon of the new year on the Roman calendar (it was a lunar calendar). So, prior to the assassination of Julius Caeser, the Ides of March was associated with a Roman holy/sacred day.
