Explanation:

“Beware the ides of March," from William Shakespeare's tragedy "Julius Caesar" is one of the most famous examples of a phrase foreshadowing an event.

In Act I, Scene ii, the soothsayer warns Caesar to “beware the Ides of March!” which foreshadows Caesar's assassination on 15th March.  The Elizabethan audience of Shakespeare's age would like have known that Caesar was assassinated on 15th March 44 B.C. So this phrase served the purpose of foreshadowing for them. The phrase appears again in Act III, scene i on 15th March, when Caesar tells the soothsayer that see ides of March has come, and the soothsayer warns again, that it is not gone yet.

In the Roman calendar the ides of March corresponded to 15th March. It was an important day for Roman for several religious observances and for settling the debts.
