Beware the Ides of March

Today marks the 2050th anniversary of Julius Caesar's assassination. To commemorate it, this weekend a horde of tourists will be dressing up in togas and running through the famous attractions in town. One attraction they will probably overlook is the Area Sacra di Largo Argentina, the site where Julius was stabbed 23 times. It's probably just as well that they leave the site in peace, though, since in recent years it has become the home of a stray cat sanctuary.
