Spurrina is the old soothsayer who first warns Caesar to "Beware the Ides of March." As Caesar enters the Senate building on that fateful morning he passes Spurrina on the road and cheerfully calls out that the Ides had arrived and he was still alive, to which Spurrina replied" "Yes, the Ides have come, but not yet passed."

The soothsayer contributes to the superstitions and warnings to Julius Caesar about the ides (15th) of March.

Caesar was warned by the soothsayer to beware the ides of March, begged by his wife Calphurnia to stay home because of her nightmare about his death, and cautioned by Artemidorus about the disloyalty of the conspirators, but he still went to the Senate because he was too prideful are arrogant to think that anything could go wrong.

See Casca's speech in Act 1 Scene 3:

A common slave--you know him well by sight--

Held up his left hand, which did flame and burn

Like twenty torches join'd, and yet his hand,

Not sensible of fire, remain'd unscorch'd.

Besides--I ha' not since put up my sword--

Against the Capitol I met a lion,

Who glared upon me, and went surly by,

Without annoying me: and there were drawn

Upon a heap a hundred ghastly women,

Transformed with their fear; who swore they saw

Men all in fire walk up and down the streets.

And yesterday the bird of night did sit

Even at noon-day upon the market-place,

Hooting and shrieking.
