  1. Roman calendar "ides" = 15th day of March, May, July and October and the 13th day of the other months.

    But you can argue that he is warned to beware the march of ideas... the soothsayer warns Caesar of the ides of march but Caesar dismisses it saying "He is a dreamer; let us leave him" so you could infer that the soothsayer is warning him about the compilation of the conspirators ideas culminating on the events of the ides of March. Only Caesar chooses to dismiss the idea.


  2. No. The 'ides' is the middle, so the 15th March (roughly). It refers to a date.
