This Day in History, March 15

It is March 15, one of the most famous days in history, owing to March 15, 44 BC, when a group of Roman senators chose to express their disagreement with Julius Caesar' by stabbing him twenty three times. Since that time March 15 has often been perceived as a day of ill omen. Ill omen or no, it is certainly a day on which much has occurred in history.

Not only do I love your "This Day in History" episodes but your wordplay in this one was quite enjoyable.

My brother was born on March 15th. He lived a turbulent life. Started with a horrible sinus infection leading to encephalitis. This left him with a minor brain injury and seizures. Later on he had a seizure and fell into a pool and drowned. My mom was able to revive him. He spent some time in a coma at the hospital. When he woke up he was mentally 3rd grade. At the age of 19 he had another seizer and died in the ocean. Beware the ides of March is very powerful with me. Happy birthday Robby.

Your alliteration is epic. Don't stop!!!

[donalddodson]

Thank you all, Lance and Team. This series on 'this day in history' is great. Definitely "worth remembering." 😊

It was a mostly peaceful evening for Caesar surrounded by his friends.

[michaelmanning]

Alliteration ain't annoying. It's entirely entertaining..

[markhodge]

"Pernicious puncturing." Wow! Total respect for your command of the language. Alliteration included!! It's going to be tough to include it myself in a conversation, but I'm cocked and loaded! Thanks History Guy.

I have learned SO MUCH from THG. It's funny, because I *hated* history all the way through high school. It was just a bunch of uninteresting events and dates in big, thick books.

I did get interested in history in my twenties, and now I just can't get enough of it. Thank you so much for this channel. I wish I would have had a teacher like Lance when I was in high school, but I'm eternally grateful to be able to learn from him now.

HG's aggressive amusing alliteration abundantly appreciated...

[patriciahowellcassity]

Both my husband and myself was born on March 15. We meet 2015, both past 50 years old.🎉

Man, I never knew so many murders and historic events happened on March 15th. Moral of the story: Stay in your house, don't go outside, and certainly don't pi^^ anyone off.

[darringasper]

I love the "pernicious puncturing" alliteration, very nice.

[kevinmiller]

Drunk with words are we?🤔😂😂😂👍😉. Keep up the great work.

[christopherfoote]

The alliteration is wonderful. Thank you sir!😂

[sarahartwig]

It's also the birthday of one of the most prolific song lyricists in history, Beach Boys co-founder Mike Love. He was born on March 15th 1941 in Southern California. Today he is 83 years old and still performing live in concert.

[geraldtrudeau]

That was more stabbing puns than I thought it was possible to do. Hats off to you sir!

[constipatedinsincity]

I remember a story that you shared on the Ides of March in 1959. It was a blizzard!

[rockymountainlifeprospecti]

We just got done with a 5 foot snowfall, entire county is under emergency, many people still stranded, we have a military animal boarding home in the Rockies, beware of the Ides of March... as always, wonderful job THG! 🇺🇸🐾🫡

I’ve been in the land of no Wi-Fi so I haven’t been able to watch you in a while. I’ve been able to get caught up in the past few days.
I am so glad you do what you do. May you have a very blessed day today .
