I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'final date' is the first definition.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ides that I've seen before include "Caesar's fateful day" , "Caesar was killed in this side of March" , "mid-month for the Romans" , "Caesar was warned to beware the ones of March" , "13th or 15th day of the month in Roman calendar" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Guardian.
