The Soothsayer gives Caesar a warning.
He says," Caesar!"
"Beware the ides of March."
This warning is very important to the story because Julius Caesar's death is on March 15, 44 BCE. (The Ides of March).
This information was gathered from the text of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar and also from http://www.livius.org/caa-can/Caesar/caesar_t09.HTML

Caesar Jesus was not a historical figure. Julius Caesar was a Roman general and statesman who played a significant role in the rise of the Roman Empire. Jesus Christ was a religious figure who founded Christianity. Both figures had a profound impact on ancient history, with Julius Caesar shaping the political landscape of Rome and Jesus Christ influencing the development of Christianity and Western civilization.
Yes, this line is an example of dramatic irony. The audience knows that Caesar has already answered graciously, but the character speaking the line does not.
Antony's persuasive goal in his speech at Caesar's funeral is to turn the crowd against the conspirators by stirring up their emotions and inciting them to seek revenge for Caesar's murder. He aims to portray Caesar as a beloved leader who was wronged and to create a sense of unity among the people against the conspirators.
To warn Caesar to beware of the Ides of March.

The Soothsayer plans to warn Julius Caesar about the impending danger he faces on the Ides of March. He intends to convey a prophetic message to Caesar, urging him to be cautious and heed the warnings of fate. Despite his efforts, the Soothsayer's warnings go unheeded, highlighting the themes of fate versus free will in the play.
The soothsayer warned Caesar that he needed to be cautious of the dangers of the Ides of March. Caesar chose to ignore the soothsayer.
Shakespeare was not trying to warn Caesar who died 16 centuries before he was born. Are you asking what the dramatic effect is of the warning Caesar receives from the soothsayer and from Calpurnia? Dramatically, Caesar's reaction to the warnings may show him to be conceited and arrogant (or confident and level-headed, if you like him).
Julius Caesar was told to beware the ides of March by a soothsayer in the play Julius Caesar.
"The Ides of March are come.""Aye, Caesar, but not gone."The audience knows that the plot the soothsayer is warning Caesar about is real, even if he doesn't see it. He is like Bud Abbott, being calm while Frankenstein's monster lumbers up from behind him. And Lou Costello, who sees the monster and tries to warn Abbott, is the soothsayer, who gets pooh-poohed for trying to warn him. (If you don't know who Abbott and Costello were, look them up. It's worth it, believe me.)Caesar is all smug because he thinks the soothsayer was wrong. The soothsayer, and the audience with him. know that he is not out of the woods yet.
Artemidorus and the soothsayer are trying to warn Caesar of the impending danger he faces as he approaches the Capitol. The soothsayer famously warns him to "beware the Ides of March," while Artemidorus attempts to present a letter detailing the conspiracy against him. Their urgent warnings highlight the theme of fate versus free will, emphasizing that despite their forewarnings, Caesar remains oblivious to the threats surrounding him.
Caesar says that he is a dreamer.
