It is famously well known for being the date Julius Caesar was killed. Before that, it was the date that people in ancient Roman times would pay off and settle up all the debts they owed. Always kind of an uneasy holiday.

So if you owe anyone money or are late on any bills today is the day to do it! Make sure you mention the Ides of March too.
