    Who warned Caesar to beware the Ides of March, and is this considered historic or only Shakespearean?

    		The soothsayer Spurinna warned Caesar to "beware the Ides of March." This is considered historic and not merely a Shakespearean creation.

    See, e.g., http://www.neroprediction.com/idesmarch/ides_march.html (referencing, inter alia, the historian Suetonius).
