"Beware the Ides of March!"
It's 44 BC, and strange things are happening in Rome. A sacrificed bull is found to have no heart. Senators are meeting in houses secretly, speaking in whispers and hiding in the shadows. A soothsayer is warning people in the streets to "beware the Ides of March." Mysterious boxes are beginning to turn up... containing daggers. Pompeia, her brother Cornelius, and her friend Roscus set out to investigate these strange happenings and soon find themselves entangled in a web of intrigue, deception... and murder!
Written for low intermediate students of Latin, Idus Martiae is (loosely) based on Suetonius' and Plutarch's biographies of Julius Caesar.
