The Ides of March, 44 BC - A Glimpse into Ancient Superstition and Tragic History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back to the fateful day of March 15th, 44 BC. Depicted in vivid color lithography by Edward John Poynter, it captures a pivotal moment in ancient Roman history. The image is part of Hutchinsons Splendour of the Heavens collection, showcasing the intersection between astronomy and human belief. In this scene, we witness a group gathered outside an impressive Roman building adorned with majestic columns and pillars. They are fixated on the night sky above as a comet streaks across its dark expanse. This celestial phenomenon was seen as an omen during that era - particularly ominous due to its occurrence on the infamous Ides of March. The painting alludes to one of history's most tragic events - Julius Caesar's assassination. It is said that his wife Calpurnia had warned him about her unsettling dreams and pleaded for him not to leave their home on this ill-fated day. However, driven by ambition or perhaps dismissing superstitions himself, Caesar ventured out only to meet his untimely demise at the hands of conspirators. Through Poynter's artistry and attention to detail, we are transported into this historical moment filled with intrigue and foreboding. The juxtaposition between architectural grandeur and celestial spectacle serves as a reminder that even great empires can be influenced by superstition
