As Xenomorph noted, the warning to beware the Ides of March became a famous expression because Caesar was warned about the day(s) and ignored the warning and then was assassinated by a group of "friends."
I think Caesar's wife had visited a soothsayer and received the warning from her and in turn passed it on to him. According to some the expression "stabbed in the back" is linked to Caesar's murder as well.
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
