There is also a TNT made for Tv movie about it which stars Rob Morrow (Northern Exposure and Numb3rs),<BR/><BR/>Your comment was truly appreciated and I shall be posting something about the assassination at a later date.The Tour Marmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16701469966951623627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2082216270461297276.post-2097962255888310272007-03-15T23:59:00.000-04:002007-03-15T23:59:00.000-04:00Didn't John Wilkes booth quote "sic semper tyrannu...Didn't John Wilkes booth quote "sic semper tyrannus" after he shot Lincoln?

According to the ancient calendar today is the second of March and Idus Martiae will be on March the 28:th if expressed in terms of the Gregorian Calendar.<BR/><BR/>But certainly today is idus martiae according to the Gregorian Calendar.<BR/><BR/>However, that calendar was not in use at that time.Flavianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00505792201982512671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2082216270461297276.post-24838295482633793892007-03-15T11:34:00.000-04:002007-03-15T11:34:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Jarodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00509177064265454149noreply@blogger.com
