What is the meaning of the word run his course said by Caesar in Act 1 Scene 2 line 4?

The line is "Stand you directly in Antonius' way when he doth run his course" and is said by Caesar to his wife Calpurnia. Antony is one of the men running in the footrace which is traditional on the Lupercal celebrations. The word "course" has the same meaning as in the expressions "race course" or "golf course"; it is the path which the contestants have to follow. To run his course is to run the race along the prescribed path.


What feast are the people celebrating in act 2 in juius Caesar?

The first two Acts of Julius Caesar are centred on the feast of Lupercalia, an ancient feast held in February when young men ran naked through the streets and struck women and girls with sticks. This was a fertility rite. In the play, Antony is shown as running this race, and Caesar asks him to touch his wife Calpurnia. In the play Shakespeare as usual compresses events, having the Lupercalia end on March 14 (just as he compresses the year between the battle of Munda and the assassination)
