March 15
Middle of March
March 15 is the fifteenth day of March, historically significant as the Ides of March—the date Julius Caesar was assassinated in 44 BCE.
The phrase Beware the Ides of March from Shakespeare's play has made this date synonymous with impending betrayal or doom.
In modern use, it's also a common tax deadline in several countries.
