In fact the ancient Roman calendar is very tricky to me. Let's see, in March the nones falls on the 7th and the ides falls on the 15th. March 22 -- 8th day before calends March 23 -- 7th day before calends March 24 -- 6th day before calends March 25 -- 5th day before calends March 26 -- 4th day before calends March 27 -- 3rd day before calends Thus "ides" has nothing to do with it. =mantis= ---
