This Day in Ancient History

This is the ides of March. Ring a bell? On this day in 44 BC, Gaius Julius Caesar was murdered on the steps of Pompey's Theater, where the Senate met, by the conspirators including Brutus and Cassius. Flowers are still placed on his altar in the Forum, in Rome, on this day every year. I wonder who's paying for those flowers?

R,

The bill for the flowers is being footed by the Estate of Joe DiMaggio. Was today the day that Brutus asked Caesar how many hot dogs he had eaten @ the forum?

I thought DiMaggio cut off the roses to Monroe's grave.
 
He did and never said why.
