The assassination of Julius Caesar led to the civil war between first Mark Anthony and the Conspirators, then between Octavian and Anthony. Octavian became Augustus Caesar, succeeded by his heir Tiberius. The taxation and census followed, after the delay mentioned above. What followed then was the Uprising, and then the Destruction of the Second Temple in 70 A.D., and the Diaspora. So many events followed the Ides of March of 44 B.C.

Of course what immediately followed the Ides of March, to the Roman way of thinking, was the 17th day before the Kalends of April.

For the vast majority of people living in the Roman Empire in 44 B.C., the Ides of March ended with them having no idea that Julius Caesar had just been killed. No internet.
